860 Front Radius Rod Pins loose

After some heavy loader use, probably a bit more than it was intended for, I was checking out my front end and finding some looseness. I noticed about 1/64th I'm guessing of slop on the pin end of the radius rod. Upon removal of the pin I can see slight egg shape to the hole in the front axle. The other side has a very tiny amount of slop, barely noticeable. Is this gonna be worth fixing?

I do occasionally drive down the road and noticed some high speed wandering but after tightening a bearing and changing a drag link end I think that's going to improve a lot. And I don't do a lot of high speed driving. I understand the proper fix is to bore it out and press in a bushing. Can that wait for another time?
