Maybe worn wasn’t the right term. It was damaged pretty bad by some debris that fell off a trailer on the highway.

That’s reassuring to hear! I’m gonna start looking for a new propshaft, thanks for the input y’all!

So, is it normal? (Maybe not from the factory, but normal wear) Or is it excessive, and probably not worth it to replace the propshaft? Sorry, english is not my first language.

And thanks everyone for responding!

Thanks you for your response Neil! Is this something that is a big dealbreaker for the AWD system? I took the propshaft out because it was worn, but would like to replace it.

Hi everyone!

When i was doing some work in my 2001 XC70 (Viscous coupling) the other day i noticed the propshaft could be turned a bit. (see attached video)

Is this normal, or is something worn?

And yes, there are already 2 bolts from the flange missing because i was taking it off
