Either that or your one or both CV joints could also be bad. The intermediate shaft will also give all the feedback you described. Not a big deal to be honest. Any decent mechanic can tend to these repairs with a minimum amount of fuss. Very common age related issues.

Thanks Tony ordered intermediate shaft and 3 bolts for Amayama.com from Japan lets see  the noise will go or not after replacing, don't think cv joints the car has done just 47000 kilometers and as i can understand intermediate shaft is a problem with most of the Toyota Cars, but the interesting part here is the intermediate shaft is a revised version from Toyota Prius hope it fits 😱
