Default Bad Ball Joint

I'm going to be looking into this soon when I get some free time but wanted to hear everyone's opinion. I have a 2015 F150 4x4 with about 48,000 miles. Over the past few weeks I've noticed that my truck is has started making a thumping/clicking noise going to down the road and you can feel it as well. Its very noticeable at 60 and fluctuates with speed. From what I can tell its the front driver's side. Does that sound like a bad ball joint? Is there anything else I should look at?

Also would this fall under the 5/60k driver train warranty?

Not a ball joint the make the noise when hitting a bump. Might be axle bearing or CV joint. These should be covered under 5/60

Check the sway bar end links. Shouldn't have gone bad in that amount of time, but you never know.
