It won't come back.
I did mine so long ago and it's still running perfect!
The only thing that might possibly happen is if the front one starts to tick.

Measured it with calipers to make sure I didn't go too wide. Worked like a charm and it was short enough to be able to turn about 270* around the actuator rod. Kinda hard to get leverage on, but it worked nonetheless.

Been about 2k miles since I adjusted it and still no more rattling.
That's pretty much what I did. I got a piece of metal and cut a 4mm slot into it.
