I was poking around near the differential, and I took a photo of the flexible coupler on the rear end of the driveshaft. Noticed it has 6 studs/bolts, but only 2 of them have locking nuts on them and are marked with some sort of blue substance. The other 4 either never had them, or these have somehow flown off. What do you think this means?

I'm beginning to think that the issue is with my center/carrier bearing, given the jingling sound I hear over the slightest of bumps at lower speeds.

I think this might be balancing weights for the driveshaft. This way a dealer can balance the driveshaft if any vibration complaints arise. The colour code will tell the weight of the nuts. I think they are sold in 1, 2 and 3 grams.
