Anyone know of a driveshaft balancing place?

[srmitchell]

So I got the front driveshaft/ hackntap setup from boatwrench in sf.

I installed brand new u joints, and in the process knocked off one of the small balancing weights on the shaft.

I've yet to install it, but would it be necessary to get it balanced? And where?

I live on the peninsula.

Southbay drive line is right next to (behind) the Shark Tank in San Jose.

Weld the weight back on where it was and don't worry about it.

 

[srmitchell]

Ok, that's simple.

I guess I'll just have to see if it vibes.

Bayshore Truck Equipment in SSF can do it if thats the path you choose Sean.

 

[srmitchell]

Yeah, I need some one to weld it.

A welder would be a great investment.
