Help! Left front wobble.

I ran my rig up onto a snow bank while trying to make a (Legal) u-turn last "when-ever it was" when we had a large amount of snow and mashed the steering stabilizer into the crossbars and as I was driving home it went into a serious front left wheel hop when I went over a large bump at 70mph!!! I took it to Schwab and they replaced the stabilizer with their "Heavy Duty" model and again it went into a serious wheel hop on the left front after hitting the same bump(it's a transition point where the freeway turns into a bridge). Took it back to Schwab and they recommended (since I have a 2" spacer lift and the stock shocks were possibly "hyper-extended") I get new shocks installed. So I did and they went over the entire front end and everything seemed to be fine, but still when I hit the certain "bump" I get a feeling like the left front wheel jumps up and wobbles and just doesn't feel comfortable. Also when driving in the rain if I hit large puddles at freeway speed (with the front left) it pulls real hrd to the left, which it never did that before. I have since talked to the guys at Schwab and they can't find anything wrong. Any idea's???

Did the steering wheel have to be recentered by Schwab?
If so the shaft coming out of the steering box could be bent and may have also caused internal damage to the box.

It was off center when I came back down and then it popped and went back to center. I will check it out, thanks Bill...
