It keeps the slop down and the suspension works well.
Im thinkin the dirt play's a factor in how quickly the suspension can bind up....on a smooth hard pack clean track i went All weekend without touching my rear end on either buggy or truggy...yet at home track i cant go a day without the rear end's goin all squeaky on me...but i cant say the pins have actually blinded in the arm at all...there just a little gritty when pulling out.
