Default Common wear on the drivetrain?

Hey all, I have 300km on 2006 is350 RWD and i noticed that after hard acceleration sometimes I get a jerk through shifter and or slight clunk that feels like a diff bushing, transmission mounts or maybe a center drive shaft bearing.
Is there a common point of wear and tear on a drivetrain of 2is RWD 350?

What I'm finding out is the rear carrier bushings become torn over time. I'm going to be replacing mine with aftermarket ones from RR Racing.

Also, the rubber driveshaft coupler might be worth looking at because they start to develop cracks and can be torn over time.

Basically anything rubber or plastic, take a look at. LOL!

I checked my driveshaft coupler and it's not cracked, there is some flex in diff bushings when prying with a large prybar, but it may be normal, not sure. I didn't think about carrier bushings, that's for sure.
