Center driveshaft bearing

Hey guys sorry to post again so soon, but I’m need of a little urgent help.

I think my driveshaft center bearing is going out. My 83’ 240D 4-spd makes a pretty loud clunking noice when I’m driving, and when I push the clutch in the noise goes away.

I crawled under and looked at it, I see the rubber bushing/bearing and I can move the shaft around within the rubber, I.e. the rubber allows some give. Is it supposed to move a little like that? It moves like a bushing should but I know it has a bearing in there.

Also, how would I be able to tell for sure if that’s my problem? The noise kinda just started suddenly. It’s worse at slower speeds and goes away mostly at high speeds.

Thanks
