Left Front Wheel Bouncing

[MAS95632]

At speeds of 60 to 70mph and rough roads the front left tire will bounce like a basketball. This is not a shimey or wobble. I have replaced the shocks, had the tires balanced and it seemed to work for a while. But now this bouncing is back and is worse than before. The truck is a 1996 4X4, AT, and it is stock issue with 100k on it. I have checked the under carriage and running gear and everything seems to be sound and tight. I have searched the forums and only found shimey and wobble problems that were posted a year ago. So if there is anyone that can help resolve this problem it would be appreciated.

Thanks Bob I read all of the post the search turned up. I will put it on the rack on Saturday and see what I can find. I will post what I find and this time I will put it in the right place. I see I made the classic newbie mistake and put in the 24V forum. I am still interested in why any of the parts mentioned, track bar, steering dampner or tie rod ends worn would have such an adverse effect on just the LEFT TIRE.
