Two other areas that merit attention;
At 170k Miles, the transmission shifter linkage and rubber isolation bushing require attention:

And the transmission temperature sensor may be tired, so while you are in there, replace it.

One way to verify whether transmission,.... OR driveshaft, differential, half-shaft or wheel bearing related would be to run the engine with the transmission in drive while driveshaft removed.
I realize that this necessitate temporarily reinstalling the exhaust system to do, but isolates source of NVH - noise, vibration or harshness.
The transmission tailshaft bearing and rear differential are possible problem areas

That one you can fix with a 10$ bearing and a wise . Bearing type seem to differ. Push it out and check type.
Buy a C3 grade ( increased play ) . It way be to tight after pressed in otherwise.
Buy a good make You have heard of. INA, KOYO, NTN, *** , SKF etc.
Take tensioner bearing in same way.

Buy an oem part and call it a day
The bearing, shipping, machinist time to extract old and insert new bearing...not to mention the value of your time in discussion is more than the part.
The bearing might be staked into pulley which is another issue.
Order the entire assembly from the dealer.
Probably all bearings on serpentine belt driven accessories are tired.
