In practise it is safe if it has just started producing noise, likely safe even quite a while after that but not for ever. And you would lose tyres from incorrect alignment etc. So better to fix it one you find a joint that isn't tight or makes noise. Most MB joints can be replaced separately from the arms and aren't even that expensive.
