Angry pulled apart my drive shaft without marking 300sd

I pulled my driveshaft from my 1984 300sd apart to replace the center rubber booth near the u-joint and didn't mark it. Will it hurt if it doesn't go back exactly the same?????? Do you balance it with the flex plates and/or trans and rear yokes?????

Thumbs up

On the W210 and W124 chassis, and I suspect yours also, the shaft is factory marked with lightly raised metal ribs...2 one one piece, 1 on the other. orient the 1 between the 2 and you're done. Pictures are in the service manuals.

there should be some factory markings

They are kinda hard to see but if you know what you are looking far they are obvious. There was a picture around here somewhere showing what the factory marks look like.

I just had a drive shaft balanced for a W123. Set me back 40$. No rubber bits other than the center bearing (which was being replaced) were present.
