One of your drive shafts has come out of engagement with its
other half. I had this happen 4 months after it was repaired by
a back street mechanic (for the previous owner) and the end
of the shaft was at the wheel end of left side. It had hung up
and not 'clicked' into its proper location but was fairly tight
(til it came out!).

A quick look in daylight will determine if both axles are OK.
