The “hop” is caused by the shocks not keeping the wheels planted on the ground and axle wrap and only a very sophisticated shock and spring set up will keep the tires glued to the ground almost 100% of the time. This is where King Shocks and other very expensive shocks such as ICON’s and many others come into play.

What causes a bent strut on a front tire?
As to spindles, excessive pressure on the wheel hub can cause a vibration, which may result in a bent one. As it bends, it may change the alignment of the wheel, and if you don’t notice it in time, the tire may develop uneven wear. Replacing a bent strut may cost $488-$597, depending on the place and model of your vehicle.
What causes a tire to wear out on the outside?
As the part ages and wears, it makes the wheels point slightly outward, meaning the toe setting of the wheel alignment is out. In this case, the wear will be less noticeable, as with a positive camber, but is not any less dangerous. Camber wear may also be connected to the ball joint-related issue. Worn and brand new ball joints.
