What keeps the rear shaft in place?

I about have my disk brake conversion done on my truck. During reasembly, it hit me that it is only the C clip, bearings and race that is really holding the rear shafts in. Is this correct or am I missing something?

One of the big reasons to run a floating caliper and not a toy solid mounted one. When the axle either deflects or tried to move side to side(minimal amounts) with a 4 piston caliper it can move a good amount of fluid, even with a residual valve
