Could the tire be out of balance? Try switching front tires, and see what happens.

is it possible that you have a Right side torsion bar on the Left(drivers) side...heard that creates some issues.

Yes, the torsion bars should have an "L" and an "R" stamped into the end. Mine were reversed once but never experienced any "bouncing" that you're talking about. I just couldn't get any height out of the front end, but that was only my experience.

My guess is you broke a shock but it's hard to say without inspecting it

I agree , Bad shock or the tire is out of round , I have seen BFG tires with less than 600 miles on them that were 1/4" out of round

I know you got an alignment ...but have you taken it to a good frame shop? Had it straightened out? Checked?

Did you mean the fender itself is the concern? Mine moves a bit as we drive down our dirt road. Seems like additional bracing is needed.

Sounds like bad/broken shock. I hate doing struts, and both my Omni, then my Neon would the the same things until I replaced them. New doesnt always mean good.
