All they need to do is have the runout tolerance checked on the straightness of the driveshaft. That's what I did and it fixed the shake-vibration factory Bullshit!

So if runout is out of tolerance, it can be fixed? wht do they do, just rebalance the shaft? I have a one piece jobbie, since it's a RCSB

If it's out of tolerance on how straight the shaft is it can be straightened. Mine was bent so to speak 1/16 of an inch and they straightened it they checked balance after it was straightened and balance was fine.
