usally the springs sag/break on the rear on those cars.. usally the mount and or strut is gone too when we replace the springs. Napa sells a struck complete with spring, mount and strut for cheap.

You will probably need mounts.

expose the mount jounce the car look for any movement, take the strut out look for any signs of wear rubber torn, sleeve exposed or moving in the rubber mount.
