Believe it or not I noticed that my car only had 3 bolts holding it together in the middle and it was like that from factory, So i put my own bolt and nut on it. check to see of some might have came loose.

Drive shaft rattle?

Alright guys i need a little help here. I recently did some service to the car and after haveing the service done there is an annoying rattle starting at 3k rpm and getting worse towards 4k rpm. The rattle is coming from under the car, and if i apply a little bit of pressure on teh drive shaft the rattle stops. What could be causing this rattle? How can I fix it?

The rattle is at idle and you can hear it a little over the motor while driving. What was done was a T belt with water pump and changed the fluids.( F,C,R Diff) oil change.
