Why are you replacing it? I have a vert small vibration over 100mph (bearing related) and apparently the solution from Audi is to replace the whole driveshaft. JHM sells the support bracket with the bearing:

But I don't know anyone that can rebalance the whole thing once replaced.

Long as you you mark an line up everything as you go it shouldn't need balancing, i have done there centre bearing on my prop-shaft its not the easiest thing.

But if you mean drive shaft cant you just get a cv joint?

A company like these can likely rebuild and balance one

They both do dynamic balancing
