    What?!! That's not good news. Those bolts need to be torqued properly or else the uni joint & diff pinion won't be happy.
    Sounds like you've found your problem, but might have done the damage already anyway.

    After tightening the bolts, park the vehicle without handbrake on and feel if there's any up/down/side movement in the uni joint(even better when the rear wheels are jacked up)
    or diff pinion/yoke. There shouldn't be any movements at all. If there IS, get the uni joint or diff pinion bearing done accordingly.
