The base of the ball joint in the picture has flattened sides which may indicate that it is removable. If so, replacing this would be a lot less effort than exchanging the complete mechanism (assuming that the mounting point is not damaged). Maybe source a replacement ball joint from McMaster Carr or somewhere similar?
