Can anyone guid me on what to do? Can anyone send me pics of what its supposed to look like? It also appears the drive shat has moved out fron the transmission 1/8 of an inch.
Woukd thus broken bolt be my issue or should I look other places as well.

I had the same thing happened last month. Same Bolt sheared. I’m trying unsuccessfully to extract the end of the bolt out without dropping the differential. Tried to use a dremel tool to cut a groove in the end of the bolt so I could back it out with a flat head. Couldn’t cut a groove deep enough. I think lm going to drop the differential and replace the bushings and upgrade the front bolt.
Thanks Mike
