Default flexible coupling
Are the front and rear flexible couplings on the driveshaft the same? There is some cracking on the rear one and I only see front ones listed.

How often do these get changed or symptoms when one is going bad? And checking them is just a visual inspection?

Are the bolts/nuts there reusable?

unless the cracking is severe or there are chucks missing out of it... you can probably keep running it.
