Does it need struts?

1995 Honda Accord EX, 147k miles ..... There is a rattle up front when I hit a bump and the front right seems to move up and down with less force than the front left (left side shock absorber is more firm) ... does all this sound like definite signs of needed front struts?

if you get new shocks you will be very happyy...do you drive hard and is the car dropped at all?

If I were you and it was stock I would get struts and springs...don't have to drop it a lot but I would. Just me. Engine is probably in great condition but suspension(handeling) is what honda/acura is all about. Get yourself some new shocks at least and it will drive like new. Some new shocks and SPRINGS and you will be amazed!
