You can definatly tell something is loose in the front end when i hit rough places. We've jacked it up and tried to move the wheel and the bearings and ball joints seem tight. Any ideas? Thank you gentlemen.
check the sway bar end links too...Had something very similar to what you're saying...and sure enough one was popped.

If that isn't it...then maybe start looking over shocks and heat shield on the exhaust.
