The issue with balancing MB driveshafts is how to hold them in the balancer as they don't have a standard slip spline nor an open u-joint like everyone else uses. The adapters are available -- for $1500 each (and you need both ends) -- unless a shop sees enough of them to pay for the adapters in a fairly reasonable amount of time, they won't buy them, and Benz driveshafts just don't go bad that often.
