Thanks for your reply!
Thankfully no in and out play and I don't ever hear the noise while driving, mainly when I first drop into reverse (80% of the time), and then again when dropping into D (95% of the time, leaving 5% for when someone else test drives it).
My thoughts have moved to the farthest front u joint. I included some pictures of that as it looks significantly worse than all the other u joints. The others still look sealed while these look rather gunky.
Also, the front end of my shaft doesn't have a boot, and it's also the end with the gunky u joint. I included a video and pic of that as well.
PS: This is from my actual vehicle.
