it sounds to me like your front struts are weak. push down on the front of the car a few times to get the suspension working. once you stop if the car doesnt stop bouncing right away you can bet the front struts are weak and need replacing.

i had an explorer that had the same problem, the rear drum brakes just needed to be adjusted. theres a small wheel towards the bottom of the drum facing the axle that adjusts the distance the shoes are from the drum itself. back it off a little bit, maybe a 1/4 turn, maybe a half and see if that makes a difference
