Default Front Axle Bounce

Odd front axle bounce at freeway speeds. Will be rough and bouncy until I go around a corner. Then it can and will become smooth as glass with no noise. Then I make another corner and it goes back to bouncing and I can hear a noice that sounds like the driver's side tire is bouncing. New axle shaft joint and wheel bearings as well. I'm at a loss here.

Will check the shocks again. And will have the tires balanced this afternoon. Ball joints are nice and tight without any play.

Tires balanced and it's better but not gone. Stock height and suspension. I imagine the control arm bushings have had it but wouldn't think that those would cause this.
