Rear Axle Shaft Bolts
#1
#3
My only major concern would be screwing them into the hub and causing any damage to that ($$). I will try to find some grade 8 locally (great idea thanks), and take it from there. If not then I wil run a die over them.Its just crazy to me they they all broke/stripped in the same location on each bolt. Any ideas what would even cause that?

Agree just get new bolts and double check depth before putting a wrench on it.
What happened... best guess somebody started the bolts on that side, forgot to run them in and tighten them and drove a little bit. You might look for witness marks inside the axle flange holes where the threads dug in.
