^yea, those bolts are very strong. it would take a lot of over torqueing to break them. maybe not proper bolts to start with..dunno....the OEM bolts are best...

they dont break when im installing them its on down the road after a session at the drag strip, the first time that i broke the drivers side had apparently backed out a little bit and sheared off, and the second time one backed out on the passengers side and managed to break one of the retaining tabs, my main problem is that they back out of where they are supposed to be and i dont know that then they break when i drive it

well, the drivers side hasnt given me any problems since i bought the new driveshaft and chased the threads and torqued them down, on another note, how much power can the stock driveshafts hold
