You should post them with pics, for those who haven't been under the car. And yes, the differential is only held to the subframe by 3 bolts.

Hey, do you have the torque specs for the NUTS that hold the exhaust brackets in place? The differential 'ears' are reportedly threaded (Malekreza11, I believe), but I haven't confirmed this myself. If they are, there should be a (lot lower) torque value for the nuts mentioned in the service manual. Thx.
