Your suspicion is correct, it's busted dampers (the correct technical term for shock absorbers). When your dampers are gone, there's nothing to stop excess bounce from the springs - that's what they're there for.

I would suggest you have the dampers looked at - and if they're busted, get them replaced ASAP.
Braking in particular is one performance area that suffers when your dampers are dead. The car's body will tend to spend too much energy wasted in boinging up and down instead of controlling its mass and coming to a controlled stop.
