I think the system could be improved on with a few minor adjustments.

The slip joins are quite baggy, would be better if the outer sleeve was a bit tighter fitting. That would
cure most of the blows that this system suffers.

Also the rear join could be changed to a bolt together section with 2 flanges as the current design seems to twist loose every now and then.
