Pillowballs - Harmful?

So my pillowballs are pretty well shot, I plan on replacing them this summer. I am going to bring the 7 out to Indiana for the summer, so i'm looking at a 700 mile drive.

How critical is it that the pillowballs be replaced, can I do this after the move when I have time to do it myself or should I have them replaced prior to the drive?

Worst case is that the rear suspension geometry gets sloppy and you see excess tire wear.

its smarter to change it after your move in case you forget to put something back right..
