Strange Wheel Vibration
02 F250 Crew short box, while braking, when I hit a bump it feels like the left front wheel is wiggling or vibrating. Feeling it in the steering wheel. Could this simply be rebalancing the front wheels or something worse?
Thanks

Or maybe a shock has failed.
Worse case scenario - wheel bearing failure. Be sure the tranny is in gear or in Park, chock the tires and lift that tire, then give it a good shake and see if there's any slop in the bearings.

Sounds more like a shock - warped rotor or caliper wouldn't make it shake after a bump.
Like Big Orn said, check the wheel bearing, but also the king pins (4x2, right?) tie-rod ends, etc.
