Default Bouncing all over the place

Ok.. anyone have any idea why my 1996 Accord bounces all over the place when I go over bumps, potholes, even small bumps???

History
July 2006 - Car crash...3 different autoshops said frame's ok..only replace front bumper, hood, radiator, and bang out the right fender
August 2007 - Replaced a broken front engine mount, and replaced both upper control arms
tire status - 2 back tires are same about 1 year and a half old.. front left tire is 2years old, and front right tire was bought used and it's a year old...

Thank you

I'm looking thru my service records, and I just noticed that back in July 2005, my dealership said that the lower ball joints were leaking grease on both sides...shoot, could that be why my car bounces all over the place right after I go over bumps???

Well maybe I'm being too obvious but I would say bad struts?

you could just push the car up and down and see if it keeps bouncing. If it does then your shocks are bad. if it stops at like 2 bouncs its something else.
