[QUOTE="redneckengineered, post: 759498, member: 503"] I personally think it is important. I know WOD builds their rigs with no slip in the mid shaft because they solid mount everything but here's how I see it. No matter how solid your mounts are you will still likely get shock movement at that shaft and if you do, your carrier bearing will be taking it. They're not designed to take forces like that. It will probably be fine (depending on how hard you wheel) for awhile but it will eventually wear out prematurely. I have a slip in my mid-shaft and when Chris rebuilt my buggy last year we could see no reason not to reuse the carrier bearing. So it has been going strong now for 10 years. I pretty much attribute that to the slip in the mid-shaft. [/QUOTE]
