Default Halfshaft

Pulled the drivers side halfshaft and removed ujoints. I was spraying it down with brake cleaner and it seemed like there was something in the halfshaft kinda moving around. It almost seemed like maybe there is an internal piece maybe for balance or something? It only did it when I shook it lengthwise. Anyone have any ideas?
