[s-cars] LAC - Deer + Avant = need a new DD for the wife.

[Scott Justusson]

 From what I've heard, that's a roundabout for 'fixing' the rear Haldex problem without the hardware/controller to do so.  With the driveshaft attached, the MIL for the system (and ABS) is lit up on the dash with a Haldex (controller is notorious for getting wet) problem.  IIRC, you can do a fault bypass of the Haldex coupler if the center driveshaft is removed.

Selling a car like that?  yikes!

You may also find that many XC's are minus a prop shaft for some problem 
with the rear diff or the propshaft itself. My brother-in-law bought one so 
that he wouldn't be stuck in his driveway when it snows without having it 
looked at (:facepalm:) and a few weeks later I had it on a lift and noticed 
the propshaft was AWOL. The dealer he bought it from pretty much laughed and 
hung up the phone when he called them to fix it.
