Hello,

It sounds like you might have a problem with the front shock absorbers.
Worn shock absorbers will cause the vehicle to bounce a lot as the damping effort is no longer working.

An easy check is to have a look at the shock absorber from underneath and see if there is any visible oil leaking.
See image below.

Hope this helps.

Cheers, Boris
