Steering wheel shakes over bumps

Sup everyone

i drive a 02 civic...the steering wheel shakes bad when going over little consistent bumps...i know its not my tires because if the road is smooth, the steering wheel is fine at all speed.

can it be my struts are bad? and need alignment?

tires have only 4k on em

Probably the struts. Just had mine replaced and that all went away. Could be your brake rotors though if this is happening in conjunction with you braking on a bumpy surface. You'll need an alignment after the strut replacement btw.

Check the control arm bushings while you are under there.
