Re: how often do rear coil springs go bad?

If it is bouncing off the bumps in the road its the springs and they are just a bit stiff compared to what you are used to. These old trucks ride like trucks and not the cowboy caddy's they make now.

It just doesn't feel as stable in the rear as I would like. If I hit a bump in the road taking a sweeping turn at say 40 mph, the rear feels like it struggles to keep contact. It's not a violent reaction but noticeable.
As far as the "cowboy caddy's", I do pre delivery inspections, which includes a test drive, on all the new cars here at work so maybe I'm a little biased as to what I'm expecting..lol, though I'm not expecting my 64 to ride like a 2018. I just want to make sure it's safe regardless of the ride.
