Default Drivetrain Noise

Hey everyone, trying to track down a problem with noise in my drivetrain.

I replaced the driver CV axle a while ago because it was worn out and was making noise, so that definitely helped the noise a bit. Since it still persisted I thought the passenger side had worn out too. I replaced it yesterday but found that it was still in good shape with smooth joint movement. And the noise did not go away after replacing the passenger CV.
When I turn the passenger wheel there is a noise from the output of the transaxle, maybe a grinding bearing or something. And when I had the CV shaft off I noticed play in the "CV Intermediate shaft" as you can see in the video. So I'm just curious if this amount of play is normal for this part? Should I replace it? Could that be causing the noise I'm hearing?
The noise goes away when driving straight, but when you turn at speed the noise becomes very loud and reverberates in the cabin. Turning harder at higher speeds makes the noise louder.

Oh, thats very worn out, it shouldnt move at all like that. the bearings are out already,
I own a ms3 gen pu and removed that multiple times and it should shake, the whole piece is like solid and bearings are tight
you should replace it, and its ms3 specific the non speed version wont fit. the genpu and gen 1 is interchangable for that part.
pretty sure you can get it in any junk yard that have speed,
cx7 wont fit either,

Hey eroler, thanks for that info. I have been looking around for a new (cheap) part (Rockauto would be fine) but can't seem to find ANYONE who carries it new? Besides possibly an online dealer part supplier with a genuine part for $350 or so. Several used ones around. I guess that's the route I will follow and hopefully get a good one unless anyone has any more ideas.

ebay should be good, or some facebook partouts also, but getting it new will be really expensive, and no reman version of this is available,
