Default Driveshaft balancing in San Antonio?

Who here can balance driveshafts in the city? I'm pretty sure mine is causing a lot of vibration.

I know there is a place that might do it, think it's called Driveshafts Unlimited or something like that.

How can you tell that it's the ds instead of maybe tire rebalancing? (besides the shakes)

I started a thread inquiring about the same thing and somebody told me to get them rebalanced because there are some people that still dont know how to truly balance a tire in the tire shops. <shruggs> Hope thats your problem so I can follow suite. Let us know how it turns out. Couldnt bad u joints make a vibration like that too?

don't take your car to ntb on agora parkway. they jacked 2 of my tires. and they don't know how the hell to balance a tire!

i'm going to try out discount tire co.'s load bearing wheel balancer. should make a drastic improvement!

i think they just spin the wheel at high speed and use the computer to analyze where the soft spots are that are throwing the wheel out of balance?
