     Hi Mark,

     I seriously doubt that the Graz factory balances the shaft in the
     vehicle.  The shaft is located by a flange that slides into a mating
     feature.

     It is vitally important that the axis of rotation at the shop that
     does the balancing is referenced to the center of the alignment flange
     not the attachment bolt holes as these are not necessarily centerpoint
     referenced.

     IMNSHO this would have been a much better design with the inclusion of
     a replaceable hardy disk.

     Al
