Replacing unis wont affect balance of shaft. Just make some alignment marks for when u reinstall it at diff & gearbox ends as well as centre bearing if u split that too.

how do you tell that your uni is warn out?
is it just by moving the drive shaft around to see how much play you have in it?

It all starts with a driveline vibration, then you get under the rig and notice there is movement in your unis.
