bouncing around corners

Hi all,
I have a 01 f250 7.3ltd
Im finding that the front of the truck is bouncing when I go around fast corners
I have new spring and shocks, ball joints etc have been done

even the local mech cant tell me whats wrong
its 100% standard, height, wheels nothing altered

My motorcyle does the "pogo" when I take a corner too fast and the rear shock compression is set too soft. You might need a stiffer shock.

Just my opinion.

Just a cople of items to check/confirm.

Make sure that you don't have a front brake caliper hanging up.
Confirm that you are not in 4WD.
Check front u-joints and/or wheel bearings (bad u-joints can cause this even if not in 4WD)
Confirm that your tires (especially the sidewall) are in good condition.

One way to eliminate is dont drive around corners fast. lol
