Default Slack in center link, front end rebuild time?

I've got some slack in the center link where it attaches to the pittman arm. I can feel it in the steering wheel and went looking for root cause. The ball joint or whatever in the center link is worn, and is sloppy in its socket. Is this a safety issue or just an annoyance?

Who is the best source for center links, tie rod ends, etc for a front end rebuild? Will those steering parts work with UMI or SPC suspension parts? I've gotten good feedback in the suspension section, but need the steering parts too.
