Bounce

I enjoy reading this a lot and have learned a lot from it. Question on some work done on my truck. I took it in to have the ABS brakes worked on which was fixed. But at the same time the dealer said the ball joints and the sway bar bushings needed to be replaced??. They were both replaced and under warranty, but now the truck seems to have far more bounce than it had before. Maybe bounce is not the correct word to use but the suspension seems a lot stiffer than before being worked on If you hit some wavey concrete the truck is all over the road almost like driving on dirt washboard. I know that neither of the things worked on would do this, but would over tightening the torsion bars or what?? would cause this. The truck was realigned doesn't mean it was done correctly, but the bolts were loosened and the ball joints and bushings were replaced.
The truck is a 99 Eddy with 49000 miles on it. Thanks again.
