Ok, I noticed today that my struts tend to move left and right when you rotate them by hand when there not connected with the 2 big bolts that hold them to the rotor/thingy ma jig. Is this normal for the celicas??? I thought that the struts were supposed to be locked in place and not moving at all? I'm guessing that when I turn the steering wheel the same thing happens too!

The steering knuckle, and the tie rods and controls arms attached to it, are what guide the struts and keep them in line with your car. That's why those bolts are so big...
