Sheared Drive shaft bolts
When I went to undone the driveshaft, I could see that 2 of the bolts that go into the flange are "missing". Once the driveshaft is out, it appears that both these bolts have sheared off.
After the little story comes the questions. Has anyone had these shear before, is it normal? and anyone want to guess whether the vibration and creaking was caused by those bolts being missing, or did the vibration break the bolts? Other 4 bolts are fine, the splines are in good nick, as were the CV joints. Ideas?
Ta muchly in advance.
