I removed the rear differential to replace the gasket, which was leaking. When I got the diff out, I found one of the ring gear bolts had broken, head popped off. Amazingly, no other damage was done. I got lucky.

Has anyone else ever seen this happen? My biggest concern is what may have caused it. Sure, I could replace the failed bolt, but I'm worried it may happen again, and possibly with worse consequences.
