I have the same problem on a 2007 gmc savanah 3500 box truck.. seams as the front tires bounc above 65 mph sometimes noticeable really bad something drives like a brand new car
things that have been replaced
Rear leaf spring shackles as they were bad
Carrier barring (center bering on drive shaft)
All three u joints
Sent drive shaft out for balancing
Front Ball joints
Upper control arm
Tie rod ends
Stering Gear box
Pitman arm
Idler arm
2 front tires and a alignment
Only thing in the front end that has not been changed is the coil spring and the lower control arm
Only thing I can think of is a bent rim
Please help any other options
Front end shakes and bouncing??

I have the same popping noise when I turn the steering.I have a 2009 Volvo 670 truck and I changed king pins,tie rod ends,u joint,front suspension balloons,shock absorbers and wheel alignment done after that,just to fix the shaking in the front wheels.I had a very bad shaking on my front wheels,starting two months ago,when I was on a poorly maintained hwy,and this happened a few times so hard then I needed to stop on the right shoulder of the hwy.I worked like mechanic 7 years for a transport company before I became a truck driver,and I know very well how to do my pre trip inspection and many repairs on my truck,but I never encountered that.The shakings on the front wheels are fixed and the popping sound are coming from inside of steering box.It is what I said to the mechanic,to keep he’s ears very closed to steering box and listening when I turn the steering.He told me that it is impossible,that sound came from there,and after all ,I changed the power steering box and the popping disappeared.I am not a pro.or a very good mechanic,I just want to help with my truck problems.The ball bearings on my power steering box was very bad.Thank you and I apologize my self for my English.

Set back axle trucks like peterbilt 579 front driver side spring leaf front grease nipple is inside. Ask mechanics everytime grease that nipple. Noise will stop.
