Driveshaft - Rubber Flex Disk & Carrier Bearing
Anyone replaced these lately...
My front one was cracked and the carrier bearing unit was deteriorated to the point where there was a significant vibration...
20 years and 165,000 miles...

OUCH !!!
I'll bet that made some noise... that became a serious and expensive repair.
I read about this happening and decided I had better take action now...
Was this a V8 car or a V12 ?

That driveshaft must have been flopping around in there for some time to reach the point of no return like that... how could one actually drive it...
