Shudder LHS at 100km/hr

[HECTICLIFE]

inherited a 380se 80's model in very good condition..(car lives in cape town).It drives well except for a seriuos judder at 100kph. Had a mate look at the LHF from another car...can observe up and down movement.of the wheel (thought it was balance problem, swopped wheel out..no change).a bush worn? Shock seems ok..is there a bush kit for the front end of this car ? Where can i source parts..(I live in Altrincham, Manchester) hope someone out there can help....

I would say its a shock absorber problem

I thought so at first..If you depress the front-end it does nor seem soft or bounce...the problem goes away at speeds high then 100kph (the judder is VERY bad on the way thru this speed tho)..thanks for the advice..another thing if you do not mind..Who are the best people to source spare parts (for this car) from in this part of the world? Thanks once again for your advice...
