So recently noticed I started getting the good ole Dodge Death Wobble around 30 to 40 MPH and a clicking noise when turning left. I was able to get up under my truck and saw that the ball joint (picture) has busted and I'm assuming that's the problem is. Just looking for some advice as far as if I should just try to find the part or if it'd be best to just replace the entire steering linkage? As well as any recommendations for fixing it.

You're probably better off just replacing the whole steering linkage system, especially if what you posted is what your's looks like. That's the old design, there's an updated version that look like the bottom one here:

Thank you! Do you by chance have a link or any brand which is best or just any heavy duty front end linkages?

Depending on your budget but the Mopar is much better than the parts store junk and the same price or less. If you are upgrading from y style to t style make sure you get the updated pitman arm.
If you are planning on spending some more money there is Synergy Steering with EMF Rod ends is the best money can buy. My costs as a Canadian was $2k per truck.
