Rattle pretty much describes it

For the cost, and ease of install, just do it. It's been way to common lately.

The plug you remove to take the pin out should be reinstalled with blue Lock-tight and minimal torque (aluminum housing). The factory installs it with what looks like a drop of red Lock-tight.
