So mine does the exact same thing. Was it clunking over small bumps? Just want to make sure before I start go buying the replacement.

it shouldn't matter if you're going over bumps or not.. if your problem is really within the axles, if they rotate, you'll hear or feel the problem..

So just to make sure. In the video, when he is shaking his axle back and forth, it is not supposed to do that? And is the fix just to replace the whole axle if it is?

1st question, no it's not.
2nd question, yes, just replace it.

i kinda doubt your axle's are blown because he was pretty low for a long time.. how low is your car?
