All of the above but make sure to maintain the gap between the flipper link and the flipper bushing when you are tightening flipper arm on the shaft.

If you have too much gap the plunger will ride too low in the sleeve can drag and bind inside the sleeve.

Quoted from newbieinKC:

I suspect they may actually contribute to the flippers binding up and that is why they are gone.

My guess is whoever worked your flipper assemblies before probably lost them. They do not contribute to your flippers binding. You are in KC. Go find a nice, large hardware store that stocks little bitty hardware items and get a couple of E clips.
