As I said ,, SVX might be different, I am used to the old Ford and Chevy four wheel drive pickups and they will work even if the bearings are about worn out .. but the shop seems to be very convinced that it is a serious problem.. Maybe it is ,, that is why I wanted other people's opinions that know, because I really don't ,,, Thanks.

The US car uses a transfer clutch only, in the center, No diff.
The rear wheels, or front to rear wheels, won't make any difference to the front diff. Only a difference in the front wheels, as these wheels have the most difference in rotation when turning at full lock. Thats why they don't have a LSD in the front.
I reckon they made a balls up when they refitted the front diff thats in the transmission housing, and yes, they had to pull the front diff down to do the transmission.
