Question Cracked bushings?

My 2001 with 26,000 mi. already has cracked bushings. Is this a warranty issue? If not can I do this myself? What do I need to get to replace them?

In the front, just above the center of the tires.

Do you mean the upper control arm bushings or the upper ball joint? Did you get it fixed already or still to be done?

The upper control arm bushings, but I believe they are all cracked like this, only this is the worst / most obvious. I have yet to do anything about it. Should it be covered under warranty? The funny thing is, even new F-150's on the lot have cracked bushings as well. What gives?

i am pretty sure that they are designed that way it gives them more flex i guess. i wouldn't worry about it.
