That example is more useful in determining play in the wheel bearings.

If the rear steps out on your, talent (or luck) is what is going to save you. 
Not all the bushings affect toe so your example is a bit presumptuous. Worn bushings will feel sloppy and lack precision which can cause various handling issues depending on which bushing it is.
