1986 300E - W124 front struts or shocks?

When I drive over rough road the front of my car feels like one of the struts is going. While parked when I press up/down on the fenders there seems to be a strut noise from the drivers side- sounds like there is just a bit of play at the top mount. However when I look it looks like my car just has very thick shocks - can't see any coil springs (struts). Any help would be appreciated. They look easy to replace - it looks like just unbolting and replacing -- is this correct? Could the noise / loose feel over bumps -- be the strut (shocks) mount?

My nice - like new looking 300E that i just bought seems to now have a list of problems that need attention however I still love her.
