High speed vibration

Try to turn one half of the driveshaft 1/4 turn and re-try it. keep trying till the vibes go away or you turn it 3 times like that. I had some mechanics change my center bearing and they got it back together wrong.
One half had to be rotated to get the vibes out. It takes a shop with a special machine to balance a driveshaft which all automakers seem to have but very few machine shops. You will need to find a shop that specializes in drivelines who can do it.
I just tried having a one piece shaft made from steele here in Kuwait. The shaft weighed 14 pounds but no one has a way to balance and it had vibes at 100KPH and up so Im out about 100 dollars and back to my heavy two piece.
Good luck with it.
