AWD or not, I would never drive on those little donut spare tires. At least get rid of that thing, they are an abomination!

I very much agree with dumping the donut. I got the rear mount information from an indy volvo shop. Regardless, put it on the rear if absolutly necessary but get it corrected ASAP. Driving in good weather? peace of mind, have the propshaft removed and it won't matter. Kind of an extreme move though.
