Default Front End hop again?????????

i was turning into my driveway, and the truck once again is hopping when i turn left.

I just replaced both wheel bearings, both front axle u-joints, both axle seals, all 4 ball joints, driver tie rod, and new brakes 2 weeks ago. The hop went away but today i noticed its back.

What could this be? im stumped. I replaced all those parts to get rid of the hop....

Edit: could be the axle shaft but i'd lean more toward possibly a bad shock

if your axle was bent it would do it ALL the time, not just when turning, think about it a second....

Or he's just being freakin paranoid like the rest of us when it comes to problems with our trucks...

Has any one ever sat there an wondered exactly how many problems we have with our trucks vs how many problems we THINK we have ? lol

check to make sure your front tire pressures are rght, my trucks hops when turning when low on tire pressure, and with these 38" swampers iv been as low as 4 lbs in my drivers front and never knew it bc of how strong the tire is, didnt even look low on air.
