signs of ball joint or ???
When I accelerate, the left front corner pops and comes up at least an inch.
When backing up, if I jab the brakes, the left front pops, and the steering wheel turns 60 degrees to the right. If I jab the brakes again moving forward, it pops back in.
The upper balljoints were good when i did the CA bushings. I didn't look at the lowers. I've looked and looked at the balljoints, but I can't see anything obvious. 60 degrees in the wheel is alot, so I'm looking for something big time out of alignment/place, but not seeing it. Ideas?

The way it sounds its a bushing you did have the bent up bushing mount maybe it trashed the bushing again.
For something to move that much I'm guessing bushing
How's the Stabilizer Bar Links?

The sway bar links are toast, but I wouldn't see them affecting alignment/steering. I was also thinking bushings, but it was doing this before I did them (I thought they were the cause). I had a shop do the lower control arm bushings last year, I don't recall if it was doing it before/after that. It's almost like the spring is coming out of the cup, but I had the longer/stiffer V8 springs put in when the LCA bushings were changed. I just can't spot anything different.
Well, I half-lied. The pop and rise/pop and settle is still there, but the clunking under braking/takeoff is gone.
I did numerous ups and downs (freefalls) with the jack while i had it on jackstands, so I don't think it's anything in the suspension. Wondering if possibly the left motor mount is loose and coming up. All I can really think of. The left side coming up may just be from all the torque going through the 4.10's
