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.

I'm just a shade tree mechanic too, but I beg to differ with you on the balance of the driveshaft, or propeller as the Europeans call it. I am quite certain that every driveshaft must be balanced and have been told and read on this forum as well to make sure you mark the driveshaft before removal. There are no marks on 123s from the factory but the later models are marked.
Am I right experts?
Cheers,
