Hi All-Been awhile since my last post. I guess that can be a good thing! Well, my wife's 2003 XC70 (around 200,000 miles)is now making some annoying rattle (already checked heatshields-OK)from what sounds like the rear drivshaft/center bearing region under the handbrake. It also has an intermittent driveline shutter but getting worse. I took a look at the history of postings on this topic last night and I couldn't really find a good description of how to do it. Looks pretty straight forward from crawling underneath the car. My questions are this. Can someone send/link me with a step by step process (Vadis?)? Does the Exhaust system need to be removed? From all indications, it sounds like the car can be driven in Front Wheel Drive "Mode" until I get the drivshaft rebuilt by my local Driveshaft Shop. Will this harm any of the Haldex components? Not about to spend $1,000 for one from my local dealer. Also Part #'s for all related bearings would be helpful. Thanks in advance for any assistance. Really appreciate all that you folks do to help the "shadetree mechanic"......
