intermittent vibration between 50 - 60mph
My X5 recently had a broken drive shaft and shattered transmission casing. Thankfully BMW covered the problem under a recall and replaced all broken parts for free.
Now I'm getting an intermittent vibration that violent shakes the front right of the vehicle between 50 - 60 miles/hour. It happens about once every 10 times when I get on the highway. I'm suspecting the issue is due to the front right output shaft. Since this problem never happened before my drive shaft snapped in half, could this incident also break the front output shaft? |

It does get a bit worse. I'm more confused on how the output shaft could break from the front drive shaft snapping in half. Maybe the front differential is the culprit. I could see the drive shaft snapping causing the front differential to spin too quickly and damaging the internals.

Did they do a full alignment after putting it all back together?
