Now that the propshaft is out, try starting the engine again and see if the bevel gear end is turning when in drive. I don't know if the bevel gear box has a drain plug in the 2007 model, but check the fluid for color and smell. The weak point is a flanged gear that may slip when abused. "Slipped" equals broken and not repairable.

Also remove the Haldex box. It needs an oil and filter change anyway. Check the circuit box and look for corrosion, the 2007 should be pretty good about keeping water out.
