NOT. The weights on the old shaft are for that shaft. Put the new in and take it for a drive. If you get a vibration. unbolt the rear of the shaft and turn it 1/4 or 1/2 turn, bolt it back up and test drive again. Each shaft has been balanced individually and swapping weights from one to the other is like adding weights to your wheels and hoping you get them balanced, without the aid of a balancer.

What do you guys think of Mazdatrix's driveshafts? I need to replace mine, the u joints are going out and vibrates the car like no one's business at high speeds.

It's usually cheaper to find a local driveshaft shop that knows how to switch in new, greaseable u-joints.
