The pin retaining clip is a key safety component of any pivot joint. Its job is to lock the pin in its bushes and prevent it from sliding out sideways under vibration and load. If you notice a missing clip, it is cracked or corroded, or the main pin has started to "walk out" of its mounting, this is a signal for immediate action. Ignoring the problem will lead to the pin falling out completely, which can cause the bucket or arm to detach and lead to a very dangerous accident.

Pin retaining clips are single-use parts. They deform during removal and lose their spring properties. Reusing them risks them falling out.
Before installing a new clip, thoroughly clean the hole in the pin of dirt, rust, and old grease to ensure it inserts fully.
During your daily walk-around inspection, visually check the presence and condition of all pin retainers. It's the easiest way to prevent a major failure.
Answer: Yes, this is the classic symptom. A missing clip allows the pin to move sideways. You should stop work immediately and install a new clip.
Question: Why can't I reuse my old clip if it isn't broken?Answer: These clips are made of spring steel. They are deformed during removal and permanently lose their spring tension. Reinstalling such a clip does not guarantee a secure fit and risks it falling out.
Question: Can I use a regular bolt or wire instead?Answer: This is extremely not recommended and dangerous. Regular bolts and wires are not made of spring steel and are not resistant to shear forces. They will break very quickly, leading to the pin falling out.
