Hello,
Got a left Drive Shaft replacement 2 months ago:
I bought this aftermarket part from this store. It is hard to find drive shaft for my volvo, because It equipped with the GM 4T65EV transmission. But finally I found this.

On the left side the transmission oil started to leak.
Then we replaced the SEAL:
I bought VOLVO ORIGINAL seal...

After 1 month, It started to leak AGAIN.

Guess what happened, the aftermarket axle / shaft was too cheap quality, and even the brand new seal leaked with it....
In addition the shaft / axle caused explosion of support bearing for the cv shaft hub:

Some needles went into transmission and caused noise when car in park or in neutral:

Questions:
Can we take out the bearings with a transmission flush? Without dismantle the whole tranny?
Or will the oil pan magnet will catch 'em?
It is a 20 year old car, take out the tranny and disassemble cost the price of the car...
you've got nothing to lose.
Drop the pan and recover as much as you can. Count the bearing needles to see if you get them all.
Best case: noise goes away
worst case: The remaining days of your transmission are numbered.
