Driveshaft?
Actually watching it again (on phone) kind of looks like wheel sparking.

Yes stock bolts. It just trimmed a small groove in the tire. Anyone have the aluminum spacer/shim things laying around?

Duncan's Hardware in Goose Creek by the high school has a good inventory of grade 8 bolts, nuts, etc.

I had exact same thing happen two years ago. It's pretty weird having the car shoot to the left when it normal just goes straight like on rails. What caused the sparks? Mine had sparks also but never saw anything that caused it.

The coil spring sits on the lower control arm. The sparks are from the control arm being pushed down by the spring

I got to say at least it broke off the line. Badmire68 on here had one break going into 4th gear and he was lucky that he was able to hang on to it. He also had the other side break off the line, cutting the tire up pretty badly.
