i have an 05 gto. about a month ago it started vibrating when i accelerated and when i was at speeds over 60mph. i took it to my mechanic and he said the bolts connecting the drive shaft to the rear end were coming loose, he torqued them all and said i was fine. it started to do it again today. i havnt had a chance to take ti to the shop yet, but i will tomorrow morning to make sure that is the problem again. is this normal for gtos? and is there anything that could be causing the bolts to come loose?

i think so, ive never replaced any of it

A vibration can cause the bolts to loosen, have it checked at a driveline shop

i just took it to my mechanic, and he said the rubber cuplete(not sure how to spell it, this is the word my mechanic used) was torn up. he said this is like a U joint if that helps. but this helps hold the drive shaft to the rear end. because it ripped, it snapped one of the bolts and caused the other 3 to come loose.

You have the original tri-pod mount shaft.

Yes the flex disc is the joint in that shaft
