KlausC,

So I have some front suspension work to do tonight, but once done I do plan to start the car and check the bevel gear once more. It did not appear to have any play in it on Saturday night, but I couldn't start the car at that time due to all the suspension stuff all over the place.

When I do start it tonight I do plan to grab hold of it and see what is going on while the car is running in drive. I'll report back what I find out.

As far as the Haldex in the rear, am I correct to understand you are suggesting that I remove the entire unit, not just replace the filter, clean & inspect the electric pump and other electrical connections???

If I do remove it, I will drill and top the bottom of the unit so that I can drain the fluid easily the next time I do this job.

Any ways, let me know if I understood you correctly.

Thanks,

Matt
