and if you take them out DON'T use a damn socket. I screwed up my hands from a damn socket. I've heard sockets also tend to round ends off.

The 4 drive shaft bolts are 12mm 12 point heads. You need a 12mm 12 point socket or wrench to tighten them, along with some medium lock tite. With that said... I highly doubt its your problem.... check your U joints, the yoke, your tranny mount and your motor mounts first
