Welcome to CF!
That double-carden joint can be replaced. I believe there are snap rigs on the inside of the caps that can be removed with a screwdriver and hammer. There is a ball and socket on the center section that can also be replaced. The other option is to take it to a driveshaft shop for repair or buy a reman shaft. Your choice.
I also think the double-carden should be on the transfer case end.

Someone must have installed it backwards. That's why I mentioned it. It sees much less abuse on the t/case end. It's steady, not moving up and down all the time.
