Vibration

Ok, I have finally fixed most of my vibration in my drivetrain (universals and bent axles). I was wondering if the driveshaft ever needs to be rebalanced?

I am going to get my tires balanced becuase they are the cause of the vibration right now.
I was wondering how much vibration have other people got from the wheels being out of balance.

Quite a bit. Just recently went through this myself with the tires being out of balance. After 55-65MPH there is noticeable vibration but nothing to unweildy, then 65-75MPH becomes very noticeable and at 80MPH the car starts really hopping around and I have to slow it back down for fear that it will take me off in a direction I don't want to go. Got all four tires balanced last weekend and it is now smooth as can be with a broken transmission mount
