Do they balance with ujoints and slip yoke installed, or just bare driveshaft? Never had this done before - old driveshaft, just want to make sure it's balanced perfectly
Can't speak for them but most of us who do balance driveshafts, need the assembled driveshaft in order to do a correct balance. If you attempt to balance just the tube and then add the u-joints and slip yoke, the balance is going to be off because of the added weight.
Typically we don't balance anyones driveshafts except for those who bought our kit. We purchased our own driveshaft making machinery so we could control the quality of driveshafts that we send out with our kits.
Our builder is a little backed up right now with our kits but if you get in a pinch, give me a shout and I'll see if I can work you in the schedule.
