| I've jacked both wheels off the ground. They spon freely and there's no noise from the diff or anything. Would this be the case if it was the diff or haldex? |

one more bit of info / symptom. It feels like the rear left wheel, could be both though, is activating the ABS all the time. That's what it feels like to drive, really weird.
any ideas?  |
