I will ask again, Please post a photograph of the pitman arm and the ball joint that is tearing, jeep on ground, wheels straight ahead. Ideally two photographs, one from ahead and other from side.
If we see that looks good, then we may ask for photographs of same with steering at full lock turn.
Awaiting the photographs!
For the other issue, steering problem, get someone to turn the steering wheel, jeep on ground, while you examine ever steering component for excess motion. For me the drag link mount hole was slight ovaled, and that caused steering problems, it can be detected by observing for motion of the bolt head when steering wheel is turned. Also check all other steering related mounts.
Report back!
Good Luck
