I investigated this further. The drive shaft (prop shaft) does not
appear to be loose.

Mine didn't either. IIRC wiggling a jacked-up tire showed the loose
u-joint better than trying to turn the driveshaft when the wheels were
on the ground and the parking brake applied. Unbolting it was even
better but I had to go out to buy a 12mm 12 point flex socket to get
the front one off, and more importantly to torque it back on.
