As it turned out, the 3oz. added to the power steering cure was all in my head. The car does have SLS and the accumulators were the problem. I installed new ones along with new front shocks and that really did cure the bounce.

I still still have a slight "clunk" in the rear when going over bad pavement but it's minor and hopefully changing the upper shock mounts will cure that. I'm just waiting for it to warm up a bit before I tackle them.
