explain what you mean by"spongy?.briefly there are usually 3 grease nipples on the hitch which will require 6-7 shot from a grease gun. you should be able to push/compress the hitch with some difficulty & it should return slowly to the extended position. if it will not compress, or returns quickly, or does not return then the damper is faulty & needs replacing
