Hello everyone!

I've run into a frustrating issue – I'm experiencing a noticeable vibration while driving at speed, and I've determined it's the driveshaft causing it. The vibration is worse around 80-90 km/h. From what I've read online, it's likely an imbalance problem.

I'm considering the best method to solve this:

Remove the driveshaft and have it balanced with a machine. It appears to be the most reliable way, though it's a lot of hassle – removal, transport, waiting, and reinstalling.
Balancing it directly on the vehicle. Some people do this using special tools without taking off the driveshaft.

Has anyone done the balancing on their car ? Share your experience and results. Thank you in advance!
