Hi, I went over a bump in to road yesterday and the whole front end wobbled like crazy for maybe 3-4seconds after going over it. What causes that? I've looked underneath but nothing looks wrong..

Oooh the fun starts. Is your track bar loose? Mounting holes sloppy? Bushings worn out?

I dont mean to be a **** but you seriously felt it was necessary to start a new thread for this? it gets covered multiple times a day you could have put wobble in the search bar and found exactly what im going to tell you now.

Death wobble is caused by loose or worn steering and suspension components, hitting a bump causes the planets to align in your front end and the harmonics and slop take over and it starts to wobble. you need to find the component or components that are lose or worn. start with getting under there and making sure evrything is tight, then have a friend turn the wheel back and forth while your under there looking for stuff that isnt right

the following is a copy paste from another thread of stuff to look at, this is by no means all of the possible causes tho. depending on your mileage it may be time to go through and replace all the stuff in your steering system and what not

-Front tires out of balance (try swapping fronts to rear; see if symptoms change)
-Tire pressure. Don’t laugh. It’s not a root cause but can exaggerate the problem. Experiment with lower tire pressure to see if it helps
-Improper lug nut torque on wheels
-Front alignment out of spec
-Loose track bar
-Worn track bar bushings
-Worn track bar (check for play!!)
-Bad control arms and associated bushings
-Worn/damaged steering stabilizer (not generally a cause in and by itself)
-Worn/damaged shocks
-Worn/damaged tie rod end
-Bad U Joint
-Bad ball joint
-Loose frame mount
