Collapsed Steering Shaft

Well, had a buffoon moment today and broke the nylon support in the 2 piece drive shaft. Was tapping on a bearing and it gave way. I've rebuilt the column completely and this was the last piece of the puzzle.

So, my question is a simple one... do I need to dis-assemble the unit and install new nylon pins, or can I drive it as is? I'm using a Borgeson steering box, so I can pull it to the length it needs to be and attach the coupler. I just don't know how much movement or pressure the steering shaft is subject to during "spirited" driving. With the steering box being mounted to the K frame and the column mounted to the support under the dash, will there be any movement issues? I definitely don't want it to pull on the coupler and pull the guts out when I'm on the road.

Thanks for the help.
