Wheel Hop

Hi all... I have a 04 F150 supercab 4X2 4.6 truck everytime i make a long right sharp curve on the highway the front-driverside wheel starts to hop. (what feels like a hop. i feel it on steeringwheel too) its on my route home from work so i drive thu that curve everyday. i am guessing it is the front struts. i am taking it to the dealer after the holiday. your advice greatly appreciated! TKS Mike

Jack it up and check for play. It may be a ball joint or tie rod end.

Lower ball joint probably.... Mine does the same thing, only it is the left side. I can feel it in the wheel, through the floor, and hear it slightly.
