From what I've seen it's unique to each individual driveline depending on how out of balance it is. I've cut down a few drivelines in my day. I put a about a half a quart of transmission fluid in the tube before I welded them together the fluid would seek it's own balance. But then that was 20 years ago I'm sure there's something better out there by today's standards
