Its a non stop bouncing and im not really sure what is causing it. Could it be worn shocks and springs? The passenger side bounces more than the drivers side. What do you guys think?

What do you guys think? sounds like wheel hop, u get aftermarket rims? new tires? may need to be rebalanced. or you have a bubble on one of your tires

If it comes back up (no bounce) then your shocks/struts are probably ok. Also, from my experience with worn struts when you put weight on the car (like the fender) it will bottom out or come really close. --------------------
