Hitting bumps really hard

Even little potholes on anything, feels like the cars gonna fall to the ground when it happens..Is this the shocks/springs whatever? Or something else
 


Why are you hitting bumps and potholes? These are things you need to avoid.

From your description, it sounds like you have no struts.
 
Lol i dont mean i'm purposely driving over potholes, i mean like a little rough or bumpy road in my car is like an earthquake beneath you. Sometimes you can't avoid stuff in the road
 
something is broke. get under your car and find it.

blown struts would make the ride bouncy, not more jarring.
 
sway bar links, control arm bushings, strut moutns, list goes on, look or have it looked at . driveability is the hardest thing to diagnose without hearing or seeing it

I wouldnt count on that being the issue... Worn tires may make the ride a little uncomfortable but from what your describing, you def have some other issue and like the someone already said.. Without any noise or being able to visibly see a broken part, its very hard to diagnose... you might have to play the guessing game and that is costly.
 
I think i may have exaggerated it a bit. The ride is just not as smooth as my older car used to be (that had brand new tires). Its just a rougher ride
 


Well thats certainly a good spot to start then since they are worn and need to be replaced anyways.. Hopefully that solves it for you.
 
If the tires don't change it , my next guess would be sturts and bushings , try gressing all the nipples too.these are just a guess..
