Drive Shaft Center Support Bearing Possibly Worn

[Kewlrobd]

Can anyone tell me if this looks worn enough to be causing a vibration when accelerating at slow speeds. When I pull on it it has a fair amount of movement.

I am trying to troubleshoot a vibration and suspect something on the drive shaft or possibly an issue with the rear tires. Trying to decide the most likely culprit and change that first.

Hard to tell with just a still pic and not video. The outer cracking and flaking is from a urethane coating they put over the rubber so that looks normal for in service use.

I could not tell you to make the call with what is shown, but if you do decide to replace it, the whole driveshaft has to be replaced as one unit with the new bearing already preinstalled.
