So I have a 99 Explorer sport 4wd and she has been really bouncy for the last month.

The best example I can give would be if I am on the interstate going say 70 mph or so and then I go over a bridge, it will take a good quarter mile to stop bouncing.

There is also a squeeking noise that I can hear at low speeds and both of these problems started about the same time. I read that the squeaking could be lower ball joints...but I would hope thats not it being that they have been replaced within the last two and a half years.

The truck has 159k on it and it has never had any suspension work other than upper and lower ball joints.
 






Replace the shocks, 150K is a lot of miles on stock shocks if they haven't been replaced.
