Shudder / Vibration Front Axle

Hi All,

Got a problem with my X5 and a little stumped as to what is causing the problem.

Basically yesterday, i replaced the NS outer CV boot as it had split.

Since replacing i'm getting a shudder/vibration from what feels the NS side of the car, mainly apparent when pulling away/accelerating or slowing to a stop.

I've double checked everyhting that i removed and all seems to be seated correctly???

Only thing i have noticed is when jacked up and wheel off, when spinning the disc it sounds like a clicking sound.

Before disturbing the front NS prior to replacing the CV boot i had no vibration/shudder or noises.

I'm a bit stumped at what it could be, driveshaft, cv joint???

Vehicle is a 2005 facelift X5 3.0 sport with 64k on it.

Any thoughts or similar issues before experienced before.

Thanks for any assistance.

Mark
