Default flexshaft balancing

Hi. I'm seeking information regarding flex shaft balancing. I have a medial c5 and one of my rubber couplers disintegrated and broke some bolts. One hit a weight on the middle of the shaft and knocked it off. I'm in the Chattanooga tn area. Does anyone have any information regarding this?

Sorry for your luck, but don't mess around trying to repair just get a replacement torque tube assembly. Check the for sale section on the forum or contact vettenuts on here for a used one.

In my working days I dealt with a company called Brake supply. They did driveshaft balancing and repair on all sizes of drive shaft and also made new drive shaft for vehicles.

You can search them on the internet and get details and contact info.

They have several locations with the main located in Evansville Indiana.

Good luck with your repair.
