O/s driveshaft support bearing replaceable?

Seems like I have never ending bearing problems on my car :(

Firstly, the noise I have on the car is like a wheel bearing. I've checked both wheels and there's no grinding or play in the hubs. Also both front wheel bearings have seen less than 20k miles, the newer of the two being changed about 3k miles ago. The noise changes pitch slightly when going left or right but doesn't disappear and seems to be coming from right in front of me.

It seems like it's the bearing on the driveshaft to me, so I'm wondering is this a replaceable item? Or do I need a whole new driveshaft?

Could this be anything else? I'm pretty sure the CV joints are fine after checking them and the noise seems to be coming from the wrong area to be gearbox/diff related.

FFS. Just been to a garage and had this checked. Both front wheel bearings are needing replaced.

I am running spacers tbf but why would bearings fail so quickly? Been through 3 n/s bearings in the last year!

Oh. And the garage I took it to were the ones who replaced my o/s bearing about 2 months ago yet they're blaming it on the spacers and won't fix it under a warranty
