bouncy ride

hey guys-

i have a '91 Explorer Sport and for the past year, the ride has been ridiculiously bouncy. it feels like the suspension is TOO stiff.. whenever a suspension starts to fail, i usually think "struts" but i honestly know very little about the inner workings of suspension systems and i know even less about this explorer.

i would think that if the struts needed replacing, the ride would be "floaty" which it is most definately not.. every bump in the road throws this truck around to the point where i am carsick before i get home every day.

to the best of my knowledge, it hasn't been lifted or lowered or anything.. is there anything i can check to see if it needs repair or replacing?

thanks in advance

-adam
