It rides rough and seems to nearly bounce to the other side of the road when I hit a bump

Sounds like a bad strut. try this, push down on the hood and make the car bounce up and down. if you push the car down and it continues to bounce up and down by itself, the struts are bad. thats one simple test for a bad strut. if you're not able to do that,have a freind do it for you. your car may also be in need of alignment, if your tires seem to be worn on either the inside or outerside of the tires,then your front ends out of alignment. the front tires only. the only other simple test i can suggest is this,if you're driving the car and it continues to bounce up and down,then you have a strut problem. hope i did'nt confuse you. if you need further assistance,please repost your question to fixya.com and have a great day.

Sounds to me like your shocks/struts are shot. Do the "bounce test" - bounce each corner of the car and see how many times the car moves up and down before stopping. If it's more than 1-2 times, then you need to replace the shocks or struts, depending on what your car has. (I would imagine your vehicle has struts.)
