2001 Ford F-250 suspension problems

SUSPENSION

AFTER TRAVELING OVER SMALL BUMPS, LIKE RAILROAD TRACKS MOST RECENTLY, AT AROUND 30MPH, ONE FRONT WHEEL STARTED BOUNCING VIOLENTLY, MAKING VEHICLE LOOSE CONTROL UNTIL TRUCK COULD BE BROUGHT TO A STOP. HAD EXPERIENCED THIS NUMEROUS TIME IN THE PAST BUT THOUGHT PROBLEM WAS SOLVED BY ADDING A STEERING STABILIZER A FEW YEARS AGO. PROBLEM HAS RETURNED. EACH TIME, THIS HAS NEARLY RESULTED IN A CATASTROPHIC ACCIDENT.
