After putting in my shortened propshaft I have found it to be out of
balance, so much it causes a ratteling from the hood frame when it's down.

Anyway propshaft balanceing companys are like hens teath around here.
Anyway I think it would end up very costly, £100 ish.

So I was told of a trick with jubily clips where I put them to balance the
shaft.  Put it on and move it arround untill it makes the vibration least.

This could be very time consuming if I had to jack up the car, move the
clip, drive it to 50mph come back and repeat.

So I was wondering if supporting the frame on axil stands running the wheels
up to 50mph would do the same trick.  Anyone tryed this?
