I know this sounds a bit elementary, but is there a right/wrong end of a
driveshaft if both U-joints are the same?

Not so much right or wrong, but if you reverse ends,
it can affect the balance. I think. At least it seemed

Hi Dan,
I believe that if there is a wieght on one end it should go to the rear of the car. I am not 100% positive.
