I suspect that the effect is worse on the rear, being a secondary drive with most power designed to go through the front end.

Two people, different cars, similar drive train, same symptoms. I am so glad that I was able to run mine slowly or I expect I might have had the same failure as you.
The V40 manual has a warning that the handling may be different. The manual for the V40 also states that the rear axle can be disconnected but does not tell you how. Does anyone know?
