Re: Clanking noise when turning a corner
If you live in a place where the AWD comes in handy, then IMHO most certainly. Considering it's already out is a plus.

The unknown is, are the other parts of the system still good? Chances are if no leaking from the angle gear, and the rear seal and shaft have no play/leaks, and the rear diff seals are all good, and finally check the front bush for the VC casing is good and the front VC bearing is solid, then if you want AWD it is up to you if you want to spend the money fixing the issue of repairing the prop-shaft.
Is your rear sub-frame still sound around the 3 mounting bolts just inward of the rear wheels? No cracks or missing parts from the sub-frame sides in this area? If so then again, it may be worth it for the security of the AWD in winter. Otherwise buy a good set of used steel wheels and either snow/ice tires or studded tires for winter and it may be about the same money.
