When driving and there is a bump in the road, the front end starts to shake. It settles out, but is starting to worry me. Depending upon speed and size of the bump, it can shake violently. Car maintains direction. Shocks are same as when I bought the car 9 years ago. Doesn't feel like shocks as car is stable and doesn't give if you push on hood. SOmething in the suspension?

Sounds like a bad steering damper.

I would have to agree with the Doctor. Definately a steering dampner.
