I'm looking at a 1999 S70 AWD in excellent shape EXCEPT that the transfer case is bad (at this point noisy). I've read a number of threads about converting these cars to FWD, and they seem to either be not clear or contradict each other. Please help.
1. I know the right axle goes through the transfer case. Can pull the axle, remove the case and reinstall the axle.
2. OR do you just remove the drive shaft? Seems as if you'd have loose ends flopping around fore and aft.
3. One poster said there would be torque steer problems. True?
4. If you do remove the transfer case, is there some interface or gap that must be sealed with a plate of some sort?
I would really appreciate answers to this question. I know I need to do more research, but I need to give an answer on this car.
