I don't think so.

If your steering/suspension allows that much slop. then I think you will notice that under power the wheels toe in and rolling off power they will toe out (front wheel drive, right?).

This is easy to check. Push your car by hand to replicate rolling off throttle (car pushes the wheels not wheels pull the car) and you will see the wheels toe out instantly.

Next, turn radio and car on, hold the car so it can not drive away and apply throttle forward (this is to replicate car being pulled by wheels under normal throttle). You will see the front wheels toe in instantly.

Good luck.
