Thanks. It seems I have a long lower cable. Even though I started lubricating my AD at every oil change as soon as I got the car, it went out on "Angle Drive Alley" on a road trip to Phoenix and has since been replaced. I lubricated the lower cable at the same time, but have not lubricated the upper. I do get a little bounce, so I'll pay attention to the upper next.
