New Grenadier Front Driveshafts from Sven here in the US.

Jeeps ride in 2wd all the time and lock in 4WD when the go Offroad , so they can do with a front propshaft with a poor balancing
Not sure if I'm missing anything, but having owned a Jeep 25yrs ago, there were no hubs on the front. Yes, TCase was PT, so 2wd or 4wd, but the front propshaft was always spinning. That said, I'm pretty sure they do need to be balanced pretty good?

You are correct.

The only caveat to that is that the shaft isn't being driven with any real torque. This is especially problematic for double cardan shafts as they tend to wear and get a little eccentric.

But yeah you are right, thanks for pointing that out.
