Default Driveline dents

hey guys. So I may have screwed up last night. Upon changing u joints in my rear driveline last night, I really wasn’t thinking or paying attention until I was done, but when I had the driveline in the vice and was pounding on the u joints, little did I know I was actually creating a small dent on the underside of the shaft where it was resting in the vice. I didn’t have the shaft level in the vice, one end was lower than the vice. So there’s small dents probably dime sized on both ends of shaft, and 180 degrees from each other on the same end. Haven’t driven it yet as I’ve got other stuff torn apart on it. I’d this going to likely cause issues with driveline vibrations now?

Probably not. Fix the other stuff, go for a drive, see what happens. If there is a problem, deal with it. If not, enjoy.
