I developed a front end bounce....yes an up and down bounce.
It appears at speeds of 60 and above. At 80 it is so bad that I slow down for fear of loosing the car.

I tried 3 sets of rims and 3 sets of tires, so that has deen ruled out of the equation.

I visually inspected all front components, and everything was tight and in good working order.

I saw rubbing around the sway bar bushings and the green urethane bushings.

Help me before I tourch my car.

if its a floaty bounce its worn out struts.

without knowing how you tested the wheels and tires, i'd tend to say if it was a sharp bounce its wheel tramp (probably tires.)

visually inspecting doesnt do jack. you need to pull and twist and tap stuff.

could also be worn front wheel bearings. they cause a multitude of sins.
