I've got a double d-shaft setup on my front end similar to most buggies with a flat belly. There isn't anything real special about it, it's pretty standard as far as double d-shaft setups go. However, the issue I've been having recently is that after I've flogged the hell out of the buggy on a ride the shaft starts to ease out of the pillow block. It has the two allen head screws that form a point and basically pinch down on the shaft to "lock" it into place. The holes are located at about 10 and 2. I always check them before a ride and lock tite them as well. When the shaft starts to slip out the allen screws still seem tight. I'm thinking they just can't handle what I'm dishing out. Anyhow, I might just tack weld the damn collar to the shaft but thought I'd ask her first since this type of pillow block is pretty common.
Oh, and if the shaft comes out of the collar it's not the end of the world it just gets real sloppy and is a PITA to put back especially on the trail.
