This is America I'm stuck in. Predation rules the day here. I'm sure a dealer could, but why would they?

What an absolute nightmare! I have been suffering with the same issue for the last 4 months. I detest this vehicle, and the abhorrent business which birthed it. I am going to attempt to set up a camera to sequentially evaluate potential movement at each wheel. My vehicle is elevated with all 4 wheels off. New master cylinder and reservoir installed. At this point, 2 quarts of clean new fluid flushed through to each wheel cylinder sequentially. No leaks. Nobody has a manual for the 2009 SXT. I can't even discover how to properly bleed the cooling system!

Chapter 17 in the content for the 2009 seems completely erroneous. The images do not match with the text. This means there's no information here about the drivetrain, so replacing the AWD 3.5L drive shaft to the rear of the vehicle is not described. There is no way to discover what the torque settings are for the 3 different locations of bolts; at the engine, for the hanger in the middle(which is the spot with the failure), and at the rear differential. Surely I'm not the 1st person to need to complete this repair. Does anybody know what the proper torque settings are for this part? I was thankfully able to source a great used one from a junkyard for about a tenth of the cost of a new unit!
