Steering gearbox and axle hub failure??

I have been hearing a "clunk"/clank when I drive over bumps lately. Took it to the dealer and they are replacing ,under warranty, the steering gearbox and the left axle hub assembly.

?: why would those componets be worn/damaged after only 17K miles? (No off road, no towing) ????
