Unhappy 1996 Altima - Suspension issues

My 1996 Altima makes thumping noise when it encounters minor dips and uneven surfaces as if something is broken. It does this even at low speeds, also if I try and test the suspensions using forceful push on either side they tend to be lot softer than my Infiniti I30. To add to my woes when ever I brake the car skip and slows something like riding a horse, does not feel like a warped rotor. I raised the car to check for loose or broken parts, they all seemed to be fine though looked pretty rusted and bushes seemed worn. During cruising at 70mph the car feels fine, I do not drive hard so no way of checking the suspension during hard cornering. I suspect the struts are bad, does anybody think I need to check anything else before ordering new ones.

Nop, I think you are in the right track.
