I installed A 4" Spydershaft back in 09. I always had vibration above 110mph and I was fine with it due to I was only running the 1/8 mile. Now I'm running the 1/4 and getting the vibration on the big end. I'm changing my pinion seal and I want to get this thing rebalanced.
My question is do any of our vendors provide this service and if not do your guys recommend someone? Thank you.

Are there any Major Performance shops or 4 x 4 shops in the area? How far are you from Panhandle Performance?

I need to update my information, I just moved to Tuscaloosa AL. However Panhandle Performance is about 2 hours west of where my girlfriend lives. I'm gonna guess they do it since you mentioned them.

Do not know if they do it in house. I do know they are a major Mustang Performance shop and build some bad ass cars!

Thank you guys. Now I know if I have to ship it out where to send it. You guys gave me some ideas of where to look locally too. I just have to do some calling around.

Not all driveshaft places are equal. We have a local shop that has been in business for 40 years and has always been popular, but they simply are not very good. They are perfect if you need to fix the driveshaft on your 2.5 ton work truck but they do not have the ability to properly balance any type of high performance items. Just because the sign over the door says 'driveshafts' doesn't mean they can do high speed balancing.
