that's a huge help. the seller stated that the rear differential "clunks". Would I be able to test that it's a differential issue rather than a prop shaft issue by seeing if it still makes the noise while in neutral? I'm assuming if it truly was a bad differential it'd make the noise wheth...

i guess it won't be as easy as i had hoped. thanks for the insights though!

Hey Everyone,

Looking at a v70 wagon awd on craigslist. Owner says the rear differential is going. Can I just remove the driveshaft to the rear tires and continue driving it as a FWD car? Would this still work even if the differential is bad? Thanks!

Has anyone done a wheel bearing replacement for your 98 volvo xc70? If so, could you please let me know the difficulty level of this repair? I'm finding differing opinions online and wanted some clarification from someone who's actually done the job already. Pictures or videos would be great. Thanks.
