1985 Mercedes 300cd driveshaft driveshaft?

Hello, this is my first post but I really enjoy all the informative information on here. I removed my driveshaft before knowing that is was factory balanced and cannot for the life of me get it back together right. So I'm just going to replace the driveshaft and need to know if there are any sites online that are recommended? I don't have any local shops that I can find so I'm guessing my only option is a remanufactured online driveshaft. I live in Eastern,Ky so if anyone knows somehere close that sells them or online I would greatly appreciate the info. 1985 300cd
Thanks, Kelly

Why not just try to have your old one rebalanced at a local shop?

X2 there are alignment marks at the splined middle section from the factory so you can put it back the same way it came apart.

wow.
I've never seen marks THAT easy to spot...

most I've seen are MINUSCULE dots on the mating surfaces... near impossible to see...
