front axle rebound, scary...

Hello,

Yesterday, on the road, my front left wheel hurt 2 or three small bumps, I was about at 50/55 mph. My front axle start to bounce and it wouldn't stop until I put the brake on. It was a very big and constant bounce, like an earthquake in the cab, I had one of my daughter in the truck and she was scared. The same thing happened to me few years ago, it was with a Comanche... I've never resolved the intermittent problem before I sold the truck...
It's scary because when it happens it seems that you don't have the control of the truck...

What to check ?
Thanks in advance !
