is my driveshaft gone

hi boys. this is my first post here, as i am a new member from denmark.

i have a little problem with my honda accord (tsx) 2,0 auto. when i drive 80km/h and above that my steering wheel shakes at bit and i can feel it a bit in the sets aswell.

first i thought it was the balancing of my tyres but that ok then i jacked the car op on a lift an i noticed that i have a bit play in my right driveshaft, an when you move it in and out you can hear that its hitting something metallic.


i have taken a little video of it so you can se what i am talking about. just want to know if somebody can tell me if its the driveshaft that has gone or something else.

is car lowered? that might stress the joint.

I had to change my drive shafts at 120,000km -- mechanic said it was common on this platform.
