I took my drive shaft to be balanced.  When I took it to the specialist
shop, I had the arrows on the shaft and flange sides lined up like they were
supposed to be.  When I got the shaft back, the arrows were no longer lined
up, but there was a big dollop of iron on it to balance it.  Maybe the best
thing is to have it balanced so you don't have to worry about it?
