[Mgs] Drive shaft balanced

[Hans Duinhoven]

Good question. But - the vibration is in for many years, but as the car's 
mishap becomes a bit irritating.
A few weeks ago the GT has been safety tested (bi-annual as it is a 
classic).
Play in the UJ's is always verified as part this safety test, so I assume 
the joints are ok.

Cheers,
Hans
