Almost lost my drive shaft

[MannyN]

Lucky me, I installed my power steps today and while tying everything up and make sure all is working correctly, I discovered this......


Scared the living daylight out me. Funny thing is, I did not feel any vibration at all. One bolt semi tight and one loose. 2 where missing completely. All fixed now. Ordered new ones with Loctite on them. Install tomorrow.

Are you the original owner?
Maybe someone worked on it.

Original owner, never seen a dealership or shop, so who knows what happened.

Years ago we came into work and found one of our pickups had been vandalized. We thought it was just the broken windows. Then we looked under it and the rats had stolen the whole front drive shaft.
