Hello everyone!

I've run into a frustrating issue – there's a noticeable vibration at speed, and it's clear the driveshaft is the culprit. It gets really bad at speeds like 80-90 km/h. Based on some forum posts, it looks like an imbalance issue.

What should I do?

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.
Doing the balancing on the car itself. This method uses special equipment to balance it without removing.

Has anyone here dealt with a similar issue? What method did you choose to solve the driveshaft vibration, and why?
I want to buy a portable balancer Balanset-1A, like this for Mulcher Rotor Balancing In this store https://www.ebay.com/itm/395385897473



Are there any tips or things to watch out for? I would greatly appreciate any advice and recommendations!
