If it is bouncing around like you say, then i say its the shocks. The aren't able to dampen the up and down momentum from the springs. Look at them and see if they are leaking any fluid. If so, they are definatley blown and need replacing. But just some info. The older RL's like yours are very sloppy feeling even when they were brand new. Its just a characteristic of the car. I call it the grandma feel.
