Any Mechanics? Front End help

My idler arm ripped out from my frame....(see pic).
My thought is there was some underlying problem that caused this to happen. Not too familiar with front end linkage. Yeah, it knocked once in awhile but was never really out of alignment. Procrastinated having it looked at. Drive it 10 miles a day to work and back, MAX.
Any ideas? Ball Joints? Other steering linkage?
The truck has been sitting for a month and a half. I obviously can't drive it. I can get it towed to a shop through AAA but want to get an idea how deep I need to dig in my pockets.
Seems like a weld job first? Ball Joints and an alignment second?

It's a 98 Chevy S-10, 2Wd.......
