The drop links only connect to the anti roll bar and are not responsible for laterally supporting the wheel at all. The wheel is only "guided" by the 2 inner TCA bushes and the droplink of the TCA.
If there's play in the bushes the wheel will move forward in the wheel well (causing toe-in) during acceleration and backwards during braking. (causing excessive toe-out and therefore poor stability)
