The driveshaft is tiny, but if it is out of balance or slightly bent it will
make a big difference. I've had the driveshafts of the Austin, bugeye, and
Morris woody balanced and checked for true. The A35 was bent and out of
balance. After correcting, the difference was HUGE! For the bugeye, the
difference was small but noticeable. If you're picky, and have already
balanced the motor components, its worth it.
