Too many
Surely there is a shop somewhere that can balance a tailshaft, fairly straightforward job and not like its vehicle specific. I had one done, with a new bearing for $220 au a couple of years back by a local guy. Still probably cheaper to find someone somewhere over your part of the world than to have a used one posted over.

No, but mine is out of balance and I didn't found any shop that could balance it. So instead of wasting my money on used one I thought I could buy a new one but without luck.
How did you unbalance your old tailshaft?

I didn't, I bought the car used from my father's friend and he said the driveshaft was installed from another used car same model and same engine and isn't the original one and the engine was swaped with functional one, I've checked the engine and it was in really good condtion but the driveshaft wasn't good and make some serious vibration specially if I hit 2.5K RPM until it disappears at 100kph (62.11mph),So yeah I wasn't lucky . Do you know any website that could have an OEM Driveshaft or even custom made one ? I will be so grateful if you can tell me about any website that have good quality.

I did this before but yet it didn't workout for me, So I want a new one to save money ( I know it's expensive but it'll last as long as I took care of it)

Are you sure it's the tailshaft that is causing the vibration? Check the rear bearing in the gear box, it can cause the same problem.
