Balance matters for the whole driveline. An out-of-balance prop shaft can cause premature wear on other major components such as the transmission and differential. Vibration is a common sign that a drive shaft may need attention. CARDONE notes it can come from worn joints, poor joint lubrication, an unbalanced shaft, or a bent or twisted shaft, so diagnose the cause before replacing.
