I'm very much a "shade-tree" mechanic, however I have seen the shop manual for removing the driveline. In my haste, I've never remembered to match-mark the splined section of the driveshaft. However, I do not believe this is necessary for shaft balance, rather for the tripod timing at each flexible joint end.

I would check the to make sure the tripods at each flexible joint are in line with each other. This is very important in normal U-joints, and may apply here. If they are not, this may be causing the discs to go out.
