Here is one option without replacing the entire shaft:

www.jxbperformance.com

Driveshaft Carrier Upgrade - LD Facelift Dodge Charger/Challenger/Chrysler 300 — JXB Performance

Replace your worn or torn center support bearing carrier without removing it from the driveshaft or removing the driveshaft from the car. Performance driveshaft (propshaft) carrier upgrade keeps your driveshaft perfectly aligned, reduces drivetrain slop, and doesn't sag or wear out over time. 2-pi

Was there any clue that it was going bad or did it just go?

2 months old, 1016 miles, a few closed road runs after break-in, nothing over 129 ... yet.
Sunday (the 12th), at the time of failure was travelling through town at about 45mph, first indication appeared to be boost dump/whine silence followed by card in the bicycle spoke sound.
Local dealer tech figured it out very quickly, but with shipping took a week to get back on the road.

None yet, still waiting on part. Guess the Redeye’s driveshaft is hard to come by since it is supposed to be an upgrade over the Hellcat driveshaft and limited usage.

So here's a weird one the part number for our driveshafts is 68546424aa but Direct Connection has one with a different part number. 77072536AB are they actually different? is one better than the other?

Gonna follow this discussion. Mine just started to rumble between 50 and 60. Thought it might be a center bearing. Starting to see a few on the forum. Mine’s a 22 Charger Redeye with 24K miles. Hope it doesn’t get taken out of service 😳. Gonna try to bring it in next week.

Part was received by dealer on the 23rd and my car is back home. All seems to be good now but I am going to keep my eye on it moving forward.

That’s the driveshaft. Guaranteed it’s the center bearing.
