Balancing Driveshaft ?
I'm going to have to replace my drive shaft and read
in the Haynes manuel to mark it, as so to keep it balance
when removing. But if I'm replacing it with a new one,
does the new one come pre-balanced?

kinda pressed for time and ussually like to like to just
swap parts. I'm thinking of replacing clutch at same time
so really don't want to be spening alot of time on another
project. But if it's worth the time maybe I can do the DS
1ST then cluth next wek-end.

Read a lot of threads about replacing "u" joints, banging out bearings that are held in by metal tabs from factory. Installing new bearings that are held in by? tack welding? clips with no grooves? balancing? In my opinion, I'd rather spend the money for a new one.

If you feel unsafe doing this, then by all means spend the extra money.

However, don't worry too much about it.
If you install it can be installed wrong, the car will vibrate as speed increases. The fix to this is to take out the four bolts for the driveshaft, and rotate it 90 degrees in either direction.
You have a 50/50 chance of getting it right, and if you don't, you'll know, and take an extra 5 mins to fix it.
