No but the carrier usually does.

Looks fine to me and i voted 2Years+ I cant see that ever breaking. If you are running it in the rear th easiest(Not Safest) way to run it on the street is with one axle removed. Just remove the long side axle and put a short side in there to seal it all up.

Just use an axle that has snapped clean away from the part that connects to the hub, i always had one in my truck ready in case
