Does this drivetrain play look/sound normal?

Doesn't look great here but it feels pretty good going down the road now and corners like a banshee without any real clunks or excessive body roll, at least for me coming off a couple years of driving trucks, vans, and my GX. I inspected all the bushings as well as I could without dropping anything and the only significant cracking was in the passenger (vertical) diff mount which would be allowing that excessive rotation under torque. I'll replace that one pretty soon most likely, probably with Figs, and maybe some of the others next winter if I can find them for a decent price. Every piece of rubber back there is like $100+ from the dealer.

I'd be interested to see a comparison if anyone has footage. Been a while since I've had to do this and never on one of these vehicles. Keep in mind this was revving between ~55-70 mph and both the tires must've had a broken belt or two.
