Describe the “bounce”. Where do you feel it? In the steering wheel? Do you have drum brakes or disk? Have you had a good 3 axle alignment or did they just set the toe when you did all the front end work? What rear suspension do you have? Have you checked the bushings in the rear suspension?

Broken belt inside tire?
Vampire and slow.rider Thank this. -
I hit a huge pothole at 60 mph on the highway during evening commute. This caused a good amount of bounce.RedForeman, Nostalgic, Farmerbob1 and 2 others Thank this. -
Check your ride height? When your off the fuel and coasting the driveline isn't louder than normal? Feel it in the seat or the wheel?

I have this same issue and have also done everything the OP did.
Mine hops at 35MPG and again at 72MPH.
It is always a tire for me when this happens! Spin them on a machine and you will see it clearly.
OP, are you on the tires you were on prior to the front end work? The damage may have already been done and now you need new steers even thought they aren't that old!slow.rider Thanks this. -
