Default Steering prob - bumps

I have a 1998 Ranger XLT 4x4, stock suspension, stock size tires. Whenever I am turning and hit a bump my steering pulls in either direction... sort of like a bumpsteer, but not so if my wheels are straight going over a bump. The pull can be quite severe, especially when driving at highway speeds. It's been this way for quite some time and possibly even worse over the past 6mo. In the past 6 months I've checked the wheel alignment, checked for loose/worn tire rods, ball joints, etc. No sign of something out of order. No excessive play in steering. My local repair shop couldn't find anything either. Ideas?
