Default Car shaking/bouncing

couple weeks ago i realized my car bounces/shakes alot, can this be suspension or if wheels messed up, i try to get my wheel balanced to fix the problem. instead it got worse haah, i did find that left front wheel is a lil cracked and right front wheel is bent a lil, but someone told me this could be suspension, anyone know??? i plan to get new wheels, but i dunno if i should get new suspension as well, i push down on all 4 shocks, it came up fine, and i feel the suspension is fine......

i wouldn't think that your rims could cause this, but if they are bent and out of round, i guess it's possible, but i doubt that it's with your suspension

How do your tires look? Are they bald? Or are they unevenly worn? That is usually a culprit. Other than that a ball joint possibly, i've seen it many times.

Try rotating your wheels to see if the shaking moves (i.e. move the front wheel to the back or left to right) If the shake stops or moves to another wheel then you have a culpret. If it stays in the same place then consider the suspension (ball joint etc.)or shock/strut. My roommate bought a set of used tires and thought they were out of ballance too untill I put his car on jackstands to show him the bent wheel. He wondered why the wheels came with one new tire.... $210 later his car rides better. Sorry so long...
