Default Best place to get a driveshaft balanced & purchase a new slip yolk?

I twisted my slip yolk on my Denny's Driveshaft and need to get it replaced and rebalanced. Where's the best place in the Houston area, preferrably on the south side, to get a driveshaft balanced. I will also be in need of a new 1350 yolk. Thanks.

That place in Dickinson is called Midway Driveshaft but I heard they went out of business. Might be worth trying though.

I got one a lot closer Jeremy Driveline services on the Beltway @ Pine street in Pasadena. Guy worked at Houston Drivetrain for a long time did his own thing with a partner, they are nice guys and do good work.

If I twised the splines in the slip yolk and just replace it, do I need to get it rebalanced? If not, then I can just swap the yolk myself and call it a day.

You shouldn't need to rebalance your driveshaft once you fix the slip yoke.
