It's been awhile since then I'll try that next

Gee oh Dee

What do you mean by bouncing?

Up and down? Side to side, like death wobble?

You more than likely have a broken steel band in the bouncing tire.. If the bouncing keeps up i wouldnt drive it much further than you need to to have the tire replaced..
Remeber the bigger the tire the more bands!! and anytime you hit something head on with a tire the bands will go first..

Went to the tire place had them balance and the same. It only happens when I hit a bump on the freeway

It feels like a death wobble

I had the brakes done by a backyard mechanic and since then it's been doing that

worth a look
see if they are siezed on, or after a run touch the lug nuts and see how hot they are, thats a quick heat test.

A friend and took apart the the brakes it seemed a little tight so we bleed them seemed a little better but then I had my friend play with the steering wheel I saw one of the brackets moving we tightened it and no more bouncing. Thanks for everyones input
