94 E420 Steering Problem

I am trying to figure out what is going on with my front end suspension. Over the last few weeks or so I have notice that as I approach a curve my steering wheel starts to "shake/ bounce / jump" as if the wheels on the vehicle are about to come off the vehicle. Once I complete the curve the steering is back to normal. The vehicle does not pull to the right nor the left and the front tires don't show any signs of uneven wear.

I first thought it was the steering damper so I replace it. The problem still continue while driving around on curves. I lift the car up and shook the tires on the front end to see if there is any play, but everything seems tight. I am not to knowledgeable about steering nor do I know much about alignments. I usually just pay an alignment shop to do the alignment jobs.

What could the problem be? Is this a sign of bad struts or ball joints? I push down on the front bumper to see how the struts react. The struts seems to be firm not bouncy. At high speeds on the highway there is no problems on the curve any ideas? Thanks
