Default Blalance driveshaft

Does anyone know where I can get my aluminum driveshaft balanced? I live in Brooklyn NY.

Check with your local clutch manufacturing shops or install shops. They may have a driveshaft balancer. Bob

There is a specialist driveshaft shop in western Long Island, I forgot the name, but all of the good performance shops in the area use them. Dave at Cartek knows/deals with them. Most of the local shops near me will not even consider a balance on an Al alloy driveshaft, these guys fabricate racing ones.

How do you know it is out of balance? Sometimes you can rotate the DS 180* and it will get rid of any vibration.
