Re: front end hop
Need more detail.
What speeds? Does it get better or worse as you go faster? Do you feel it in the steering wheel? in the seat? Is it something you feel only, or do you hear something too? Can you do it with the truck stopped, in neutral, by revving the engine? What if you coast at that speed in neutral? K

Re: front end hop
Make sure you're front calipers are releasing also. A slight drag will over a long distance drive will get the rotor hot and out of shape.
I would look at your wheels and tires first though and check for broken belts in the tires then have them balanced. |
