I've never had an axle failure on a 9000 but recently had a VW passat give out on me with exactly the same symptoms you've described. The grinding sound was actually the spinning CV hub on the gearbox occasionally grinding with the separated tripod bearing (VW axles couple on the 'flange' and in this case the 6 SHCS had vibrated loose)
As soon as you can get at least 1 side up it will be pretty easy to determine if it's internal or external of the transmission
