It really depends what is causing the noise. You might just be throwing money away.

First thing to do is get under it and see if you have any damaged CV joints. Also jack it up and test your wheel bearing. Both are a cheaper option then just swapping a drive shaft that most likely hasn't failed

It will be the front wheel bearing, and the clunk will be the compression bushes most likely. Both very common issues at this age. Nearly every M35 I see needs poly compression bushes and rear diff bush replacement .
