You're welcome.

Don't know what car you've got, but if it has unequal-length driveshafts
(no center shaft and bearing), pay particular attention to the one on the
differential side. This one will crack first because it runs at steeper
angles relative to the axis of the wheel.

The cracks generally start on the largest part of the bellows first, and
only on part of the circumference, so check all around in good light.
