Default Broken driveshaft...symptoms ???

If you have any experience with broken driveshaft, how did you notice it ?
I have some strange noise coming out of my right front and my steering wheel sometimes is shaking baddly when accelerating during turn like highway ramp on smooth pavement. Coul it be i have broken it or is this something else ?
Also my front tires are wearing out much faster than my rears.
Thanks for help !

Today, when drivind 80 km/h at highway, shaking started again with a loud noise. I pulled it over and got out to see what was causing this.
It's a broken U-joint or how you call it in english, I mean these double almost U-shape things next to wheel coming from driveshaft.
Have to take it for a dealers repair shop in the morning.
