GX470 Bang/Jerk at idle. Can this be the infamous driveshaft issue?

Just bought a 2008 gx470 and started experiencing what I think is the clunk TSB issue. (Have read the sticky). My question is: Why would it be the drive shaft, if jerk/bang is felt when the vehicle is stopped/ideling at a traffic light? I can understand if the vehicle was about to be set in motion. Can someone explain?

At least one person claims to fix the issue by cleaning and lubricating the drive shaft splines.

The Car wizard has some good advice and shows the undercarriage of a Toyota version (maybe not your issue but good advice, nonetheless)

 

Another person replies with this statement:

Best thing you can do is replace the driveshaft with the new part number which was designed for this fix. There is a TSB on it. Shaft is rather inexpensive, about $350 shipped.
