Is joint play like this normal?

Do I need to have this joint replaced? I dunno what the scratching sound is from something with the phone, but you can hear the clunking.

If that’s left and right play… I would assume yes… maybe take it by a shop and have them take a look

it's rocking the bar up and down, front to back, not side to side.

After my tie rod and track bars jumped threads on the stamped adjusters, I swapped out OEM for aftermarket on them plus the drag link.
Place I use for alignments and tires advised me to ditch the stamped steel style and get something more robust.

Jeep also uses light duty ball joints in them.
