Front strut locking pin missing

Hi everyone,

I noticed that there is a locking pin (part14) that is missing on one of my struts.I checked realoem to see what its called but its not listed.

Is it ok to be without one or will I be having any aligment issues?

Those are removed when adjusting the camber during an alignment. It's perfectly normal.
