To see if it needs to be balanced, I guess. I have no experience, so I want to measure stuff

Balancing a drive line costs about 30 bucks.

Oh. Maybe I should just get it done, but I'd like to know what is 'OK' and what is 'TOO MUCH'.

Now if you are doing an experiment you can use a couple hose clamps to do a temporary balance.
Set the car on blocks attach two hose clamps to the drive line and set them tight. Run the car and if it vibrates rotate the clamps away from each other until it goes away. Then wrap the clamps with electrical tape to hold um in place.

Cool. That sounds like something that even I could do.
Thanks for the link. Looks promising. Not sure how to mount that. On the nearest wheel support while the car is up on jacks, then run the motor?
