Only if your slipper side bearing is loose in the casing.
If it is a good fit, then the shaft is positioned by that bearing; as when the slipper is tightened it pulls the shaft through the bearing until the internal spacer comes up against the bearing. It is then trapped between the internal and external spacers. If there is still end float after the slipper is loaded then it is because that bearing is loose in the casing.
