Default ring gear bolts

so i was driven my car around yesturday and as i was turning a corner...bam my rear froze up.....today i pulled the cover off and it looks lik everysingle bolt that holds on my ring gear was out......i still have a couple bolts that are jammed inby the lefy cap but past that nothing looks bad yet...not even a scratch on anything....even the most of the bolts look fine.....
any one experience anything like this b4 and maybe know what to do to avoid iy the next time

If i read this correctly, I asssume there was no locktite on the bolts. Make sure it is used next time. Bc of this you will want to load them up with locktite but dont hahaha. just use a little bit
