What did you do to / for your E53 today??

It seems the high resistance contact caused some secondary damage. Yellow arrow points to plastic rivet that appears raised: meaning the metal is depressed as it heated and melted the plastic, that's usually how the failure goes. I would pull the metal back up and support it or even with the aluminum contact it will just happen again

Thanks for the feedback andrewwynn

Replaced the front ball joints. did this with no torch or major tools. Just take your time and they eventually work their way out. I will upload pictures but I can't seem to figure out where to go to do this

Finished assembling the transmission yesterday. The torque converter also came in yesterday, so I will be installing the transmission today.

What brand did you replace with?

Believe it or not I spend like $20 and knew they are quick and easier to replace if needed. My car has 200k on it and it handles incredible again. I took the risk as I have spent way to much trying to diagnosis my damn wobble. I think my end links are next
