Mystery Noise Solved ?? Inner RH driver worn tripod...

bearing...
I took the car into Saab Services this morning and we put it on a lift to try and diagnose noise, easy to hear in the car, but hard to hear outside the car. with car on lift, i could hear it coming from the passenger side of the trans where the axle goes in.
Mech checked play in drive-shaft said inner tripod bearing has a lot of play, while driver's side has only a small amount of play, difference in play, he said is causing my problem, including added vibration, which is made worse by a weak rear lower motor mount (as Abusot suspected) and the trans mount is also weak.
His advice was to leave it alone until I can't stand the noise, as the inner companion flange is $342 plus 2 hours labor, plus he said the other tripod bearing ($125) should also be replaced at the same time.
I can just replace the whole passenger side axle/drive-shaft and that would solve the problem, correct, as it comes with new joints?? But I'm concerned about quality of rebuilt axles... I got a bad one once on my Subaru (I noticed it right away as the car vibrated noticeably), but still I want to avoid problems.
Anyone else have this problem? Advice...?
