With SPOA it could be a multitude of issues. All depends how well it has been done.

Do you have a series of photos of the suspensuin mounts, springs, shocks, shackle angle?

Is there an anti wrap bar on the rear axle?

Ideally you want an anti wrap bar to prevent axle wrap distorting and bending springs.

Might be the photo but i don't see any bump stops either.

They are a solid ride normally. Might just seem very harsh as you're not used to it.

Hit a bump and you're all over?

As in it bounces a lot or darts across the road and you have to fight the steering to keep it straight?

Well av only bin back and forths a mile along the road to my house as bin sanded bk to the metal so didnt want to go far with no paint on but yea hit a bump n ya all over as you have to keep hole of the steering wheel unless u be in a bush a think
