Default Suspension Issue

I have an '02 with about 40k miles on it. I've heard that shocks last longer than this, but could be mistaken. It's a stock daily driver with the occasional hard corner, but not tracked, etc. Recently, I've noticed that the car feels "mushy / bouncy" for lack of a better description. When I hit a decent bump in the road, the rear suspension seems to bounce rapidly. Not a slow bounce like a lincoln towncar, but a rapid bounce. I've also noticed that something feels "wrong" when I make a left turn. It almost feels like oversteer, but the car is going too slow for that. I've tried pushing down on all 4 corners and the suspension seems pretty tight, so it may not be the shocks.

I realize this is somewhat vague and you all don't have a crystal ball, but I was wondering if there are any common S2K suspension issues I might use as a starting point.

Also, sorry if this is the wrong forum. This one seemed the most appropriate.

Thanks

I haven't come across this, check the shocks for leaks and the bushings.

It really helps if you get it up in the air and get a good look at all the connecting components
