n00bkiller944,

I was looking at your thread on your spline collar for your XC: http://www.volvoxc.com/forums/showthread.php?t=17409

I just aquired a uber clean 2003 XC70 and just slapped some Yoko Geolanders on it and went out for a climb up the hill at the ski resort I work at...and nothing.

I did a test for the bevel gear when you put the front wheel on a jackstand, car in N and spin the tire to see if the drive shaft turns...which it does. Now I'm wondering if there is enough friction on an unloaded car but that maybe a bad spline sleeve slips when it has the friction of the road.

YOu mention slowly losing AWD. Did you hear any sounds from the bevel area? Did the spline make a sound when slipping? I'm getting nothing. I just ordered a Vadis Dice (china made) since we have about 5 volvos in the family and maybe this will help rule out common haldex end electronics.

Any comments would be appreciated!

I am located in Northern Virginia, right outside of DC. But I would be looking for more than 100 dollars for it. It was only used for 40K miles and is in perfect condition...

Where are you located? I'll give you $100 for it.

I'm in central Massachusetts.

Thanks.
