hey guys what in the hell could cause the bolt in the front of my rear diff to come loose? i noticed this the other day when i went to back up the car felt like it was jumping or something. i thought my carrier bearing had broken but after some inspection i found out that my diff bolts were very loose. the ones right in front of the rear diff. so i tightened the hell outta them and it seems to be ok but this is the second time it has happened. any ideas?

vibration is the main cause. the A70 diff is hard mounted to the subframe, there's little room for movement. check the TSRM and tq to spec, inspect for any cracks in the subframe.
