Broken suspension part possibly track bar?

Howdy y’all, this is my first post on here glad to be here been looking for some help with my 2004 F350 6.0L my vehicle was in an accident I had the frame fixed then realized after I aligned it there was some issues after I noticed a clunking noise and see that this was broken at the bracket I was told it is my track bar and I have to replace the bracket so I just wanted to see what others think

I believe this is my track bar I may be wrong

General picture

Here is my problem where the break is at the bracket

That isn't the mounts first rodeo. You can see a repair weld right below the rip. They should of welded it, then plated it over with 3/16 to move the stress away from that point.

Yes, the axle end track bar bracket is broken. That lower broken section also crushed into your steering stabilizer which now needs to be replaced also.
