Strange vibration at 95+ mph.

Not that I drive at this speed on a regular basis, but my car when at 95+ mph or above, makes a strange vibration almost like a tire is wobbling. My brother informed me that there is 1 bolt missing from the drive shaft connecting to the differential. Is there any possability that the bolt missing is the culprit for this vibration???

As you increase in speed the vibration intensifies, it shakes the car pretty well. It feels and soundsl ike it is coming from the rear section of the car. Any input would be great.

Yes, I know. I wasnt aware of this till my brother informed me, used to be hist car. Anyways, I dont drag this car or even run it that hard so I'm not too concerened but I'm definatley going to get a replacement bolt for the DS. This thing is under alot of torque.

Get that fixed! You don't want to learn first hand the damage a driveshaft can do if it gets loose!!!
