front end hop/jerk over bumps

what would be causes of front suspension hopping over or jerking over bumps as are cruising along the road ? the faster you go then the worse it does this, the front end will actually like hope copeltely over an inch or so and steering wheel will kinda jerk too

theres evidence of car having been broadsided up left front and fender replaced, so,.,.

thanks for anything

nothing is really loose anywhere, tie rod end or two a little bit loose, but not sloppy

thanks
