if you are tlaking about where i have the red arrow drawn then it's not going to make the front end stable but you can continue to drive just watch hard conrering,hard braking and hard movements.

What arm is it and if the noise is due to looseness/wear of ball joints, then it is not safe to continue driving it.

If it is bushes that are worn they would not give way completely but handling of vehicle would be affected.
