Where to have a DS high speed balanced in the Midwest? If you look at one of my earlier threads, I've been having terrible luck finding a vibration since i swapped gears and driveshafts.
Driveshaft is a Denny's Nitrous ready.
I know, I know, just send it to denny's. Well I replaced a U-joint, and didn't use their special "spicer maintenance free" unit, so they won't even touch it unless i replace it.
So $30 for a u joint, 65 MINIMUM to balance, and I eat shipping both ways. This is going to turn into $200 very quickly.
Any reputable shops out there wanna give this a spin? (no pun intended)

AL shaft.... i think dennys is afraid of N2o and AL shafts.. so you probably have the CM steel or Dom...
Why would they be afraid to rebalance it because you changed joints...
I'll tell you what... before you send it out, did you mark the slip yoke to the position it was assembled to on the shaft ? ? ?
If not, a cheap situation to try is take the slip off and turn it 180 and put it back together...
If you remove a flange or slip and put it back together the opposite way, and irregularities with that slip or flange are now a issue again since it was not balanced like that..
Everything on the shaft must be and remain the same locations as they were orginally balanced, now, that doesn't mean you don't need to have it rebalanced, since even different joints can make a issue, dropping a shaft can make a issue...
Try the slip if you didn't mark it....
I forgot to look and see who is near you.... i'll see who's near you tomorrow..

Ah, the china issue... yeah then if you are having a issue that will be it since that slip wasn't part of the shaft when balanced.
Hopefully i have good news for you in a few hours
