Bobby pin?
No they are called cotter pins. And no it's not a huge deal
about them being missing, all that are on there to do is hold the retaining ring
in place so that the retaining ring won't allow the axle nut to back off. It's a
safety and you can drive without safetys. I never put those back in any of my
cars.
