Default Will a '98 bevel gear fit my '97 850?

Hi
I have recently acquired a '97 850 awd with 100K km on the clock.
Everything is running fine. I have heard a lot of horror stories regarding the AWD bevel gear.
Someone locally is selling a used bevel gear for $300 that comes out of a 98 v70.
I am thinking of buying this as insurance. Will this fit my 850?
Thanks for any help

So far as I have found, the drive system from these two cars is identical, so yes it should fit. Things that are common between the 850 AWD and the V70 AWD include rear brakes and suspension, driveline, transaxle and front half shafts.
