as I've mentioned, swap the WHOLE THING. bolt the strut top mount, cross member 4 bolts, and sway bar/tension rod mounts. no modification needed, use the spindles, steering rack, and everything attached to the x8 cross member.

You will end up with 5 lug hubs and yes you can pull any part of the ABS because your x7 doesn't have ABS.

you'll need newer x8/7mge engine mounts. the mounts are interchangeable between engines but you have to have the right one for the cross member.
