It won't be much, so it should move ok as there seems to be reasonable amount of flex.

That's the case with the front ones that have a solid metal pin and are then retained by another split pin....

The rear he is referring to is just a long split pin that slides through and you just bend the pin at the end to hold it in place.

Did you have to get longer ones or did you get ones with smaller heads?
