Yeah, I was wondering that too. Having experienced the death wobble clearly there is a bunch of play in the front end, but it isn’t obvious to me how a couple tenths in a few pivot points results in so much motion at the wheels! I’m guessing the play at the radius rods ends up being a big player in getting so much motion at the wheels?
And FWIW, all the books say replace for basically any wear.
