Ball joint worn out? pics

Ok guys I've had this on going creaking and groaning from the back of the car so I finally got around to crawling around in there and getting a good look at things.

In the first picture you will see that the ball joint on the the controll arm is at a pretty good slant. Tire is off one corner of the car jacked up. In the second the upper arm is shown with a bit of a slant also. I can twist the ball joint mabye 3/8" with a pry bar, basically held up by the track arm bushing. The upper arm moves about an 1/8" by hand. Thoughts on where to go with this before I start buying parts? Thanks for any help you guys can offer.
