I need to shorten my driveshaft by 1/2 to 3/4 inch. The machinist that I know says that it wont need to be rebalanced if only that little bit is removed and its welded back the same way it was removed minus the material. He is not the one doing the work so he is not saying it just to make money.

Will I be ok?????

check out 4x4 and large truck mechanic places, ive found in my area they have the best prices for drive shaft rebalancing.
