no man i haven't fixed it yet please try and get back too asap if you can i really appreciate it. i feel that the missing bolt is making the driveshaft freak out and vibrate at lower speeds if not i am going to replace the center bearing support or something .

If you are talking about the four bolts that mount the driveshaft to the diff then they are 14mm but if you are talking about the two for the carrier bearing then they are 17mm. You can go to the parts store and get some replacements to use there.
