Default Upper control arm bushings

I think I need them replaced,(drivers side). Been making a knocking noise a week or 2 now. Is it unusual for them to go on a truck with less then 80,000 mile? How much will it cost me if warranty doesn't cover it?

Look at Rock Auto for them....I just purchased new ones for my new to me 2012 that has 68k miles and got Mevotechs that were 42 US dollars apiece. I don't know if I needed them but I was installing new Bilstein shocks so I figured I should just do them. Happy so far and they weren't that expensive. They also have grease fitting for the ball joint which was nice. They are pretty easy to replace right in your driveway if you can turn a wrench. You should definitely get an alignment after though.
