Its always a good idea to mark things like the driveshaft etc., but in Your
case it might not be a problem when You put new U-joints in it. You can only
mount it 180 degrees off so if You have any vibrations from it, turn it 180
degrees and if it still vibrates, You`ll have to get it balanced.
Good luck
