Why does my Camry bottom out on every bump that I hit?

Over the last 2 months or so, I’ve found my 98 Toyota Camry to be riding a lot rougher than it used to. Even going over some potholes, my car will bottom out. I can’t pull into certain driveways because of how hard the bottom of my car hits the cement.

Does this sound like something to do with my shocks and struts?

      The shocks and struts are worn out are supposed to be replaced every 60k miles or years per service manual.
