I have personally sheared off
cheap u-joint bolts (
NOT in my ERA Cobra, however). It sounds like a friggin' grenade has gone off in your car and it will absolutely scare the crap out of you. Your drive line is not the place to scrimp, either on U-joints or on the fasteners that hold them. And no, I did not have a drive shaft safety hoop when I blew them either.
