Was it a mounting issue? Did they have too much slop/play? Was it a once piece bumper?

Were you happy with the drive otherwise, and are just trying to solve the bumper issue?

The mounting could have been better, we used wing nuts with bolts through the bumper. It was a one piece bumper.

I have a handful of minor complaints: center live axle getting bent and wobbly a few times (took a while to replace, the dead axles performed better imo), bearing block plates hard to get at to loosen, gear box cantilevering off a few bolts seemed sloppy (, tensioners added construction and wheel maintenance time, if we got tipped the drive would sit on its frame edge and lose traction. Other than that and other things noted in this thread, it was pretty sexy.
