I can't figure this one out any help is appreciated.88 F350 460ci
every now and then when taking a left turn sweeping corner my steering wheel shakes so bad I have to hit the brakes. If you watch the front left wheel it starts hopping up and down It doesn't do it everytime but every so often.Front end parts check out ok new shocks installed steering stabalizer is good.The only thing I can come up with is leaf springs are worn out it has a add a leaf kit and the stock springs look like they want to bend the opposite way where the add a leaf ends,pretty much stock truck that runs a plow for 6 months out of the year.Any Ideas??

It could possibly be a out of balanced tire. I had the exact same problem, only when turning right. I rotated the tires, and it stopped doing it.
