i'll be driving along and hit a little bump in the road, and something rattles on my car (1989 Corsica). just recently when i'm turning corners and hit a bump the front end will shake and the wheels will "bounce" until i decelerate. i think its my struts that are bad, any help would be appreciated.

Most likley the struts. the bushings will wear out in them and cause noise. Should be able to get a free estimate from most any shop. Check the shocks too, as well as other suspension parts.
