900S Half shaft and inner driver

I have a 90 900S 5 spd with approx 150k miles. I am new to Saabs so this is a new experience to me. It has a vibration when accelerating at 40+mph. I have a Bently manual and it seems the right half-shaft is wobbly. However, it doesn't seem like the sloppiness is in the tri-cross CV but the inner driver has a lot of motion in it. If I understand it correctly, the shaft for the inner driver goes through one or two bearings (?) and into the right spider gear. Does this seem reasonable? Is this a common weakness in these cars?
I am reasonably experienced and made my way through grad school working on Volvos and BMWs and in a auto machine shop. Is this a difficult repair?
