Default Front end bounces at 55 mph

This is my first time on here. It started about two weeks ago, if I'm doing around 55 - 60 mph and hit a bump the front end shakes out of control. i have to slow down to about 45 for it to settle down. I just replaced the shocks, no change. Can anyone help me?

sounds like a death wobble...sorta. Search around for wobble, you're bound to find people here with the same problem

It may be the steering track bar, or more likely the steering stabilizer arm. The latter of the two is the least expensive at $50.00 or so. Easy to bolt on also. I had similar problem with my 01 dodge ram. Not sure if yours would be the same.
