91 LeSabre bouncing

[3echo9]

Does anyone have any clue what might cause a vibration or bouncing feel from the front end? I have 120k miles and have replaced ball joints, motor mounts, tie rods and had new tires put on.

It's worse when the steering wheel is pitched 5 degrees left or right.

How do you test for a bad wheel hub or bearing?

I'm sure shocks might be a reason but they don't look too bad.

Thanks...

Can't look at struts and tell if they are bad, bounce the ft of the car, if it is spongy struts are bad, 15 years old? Also check for looseness in the ft wheel hubs and bearings, jack up each wheel cut the wheel over and try to rock the wheel vertically and horizontally.

Sounds like one of your front tires has a bubble on it or perhaps the tires are out of round. Take tires off so that you can see the inner wall of the tires. allot of people forget to lok on the inner walls.
