S203 front end suspension 'flutter'

Noticed for the first time, yesterday, on my '56 plate S203 (Sport) the front end felt loose, almost a like 'flutter' sensation when going in to corners at low speed on back roads (ie not that smooth a surface!). I could also detect an occasional very slight knocking from the front.

In the last year I've replaced the front ARB, both drop links and the rear/lower control arms, and the year before that had new track-rod ends and rear ARB bushes. Also jacked up each wheel last night to check for play - nothing.

Just to add the front discs are ATE (ie good quality), less than 2years old and in good condition - so I'm pretty certain it's not brake judder.

Any ideas, please?
 
Strut top mount worn and/or shock absorber worn/leaking.

I had similar on my 203 with the fns seemed to 'patter' over minor undulations. Fitted the Bilstein coil-overs and all well again. Not suggesting you need coil-overs but perhaps new shocks?
