I have searched and searched and to no avail can not find out what the DRIVE SHAFT BOLT is??? The manual says to tighten it every 5K but that is rediculous what ever it is.

I asked the guy at the dealer and he said that if I don't tighten in the axle would separate from the drive shaft in the rear and the drive shaft would drag on the ground while driving!!!!!!!!! I can't believe that so I laughed in his face. He changed his tune and just said that it should get checked becuase it comes loose with vibration. A little better but he stilll could not tell me where or what the Drive Shaft Bolt is???

Does anyone know? Do you know what the torque should be?

Thanks
