I stand corrected. Got under the car too, and that's indeed the case.

Man, I don't doubt these cases, but shearing a bolt that thick with surfaces next to each other is unheard of, especially with a differential. Have you guys done any launches? Could somebody post pictures? Wonder if we should replace ours as a precaution . Or is it abuse? It still shouldn't happen though; usually shaft splines are the weak link.
