Ack...Rear Driveshaft rotoflex about to fail?

Sorry, DID NOT MEAN DRIVESHAFT IN TITLE just the rotoflex...this is an update from my squeal from the rear, thought it might be brakes, and still might, but I found some troubling cracks on the rear driveshaft area that I need answered. Do these cracks give evidence of why i might have heard sqealing at slower speeds intermittently....and MORE important is it close to failure? I imagine I should buy a new rotoflex as soon as possible, as they are fairly inexpensive...

i say you should change it to something like a tom woods or great basin rovers driveshaft! youll never have to deal with that rotoflex again.
