2004-XC70

My Haldex unit went out-AGAIN. This time I tore it out and removed the rear axles too. I couldn't bear the cost to deal with it all and then maybe have it fail again next year, so..........I committed to 2-wheel drive from here on out. Had to cut the driveline out of there anyway as it was welded to the rusted collar on the rear transmission. I just didn't feel the gains of replacing all of that were worth it.

Anyway, the boys at the alignment shop told me they had concerns of my new rear wheel bearings not having the spline end of the axle bolted up against the bearing because the bearings can basically come apart. Any truth to this?

If so, are there parts (the very end of the axles?) that I can order to bolt into place with the axle bolt? Of course I no longer have the old axles.

Thanks much,
Arne
