bad wheel hop
On my 98 grand cherokee when the right side hit a small hump or hole
in the road the wheel hops like the whole front end is coming out from
under the vehicle. I've changed my shocks and checked for something
that is worn out but everything looks fine. I've got to get this fixed
before it causes a loss of control of the vehicle. Any ideas what may
be the problem?

Tire balance, worn tie rod/ball joint? Fix it before you or someone else
dies... go ahead and pay the money.

Have your tires balanced.
If they are you need a new steering stabilizer (like ßill says)
I run the Procomp ES 2000 from 4Wheel Parts.
It might be that one tire has worn more than the other. Measure the
tread depth and use the two closest tires for the front.
