Exclamation Harshness over medium bumps

My 2000 E320 4matic w/ 70,000 miles rides harsh over medium bumps or potholes. The vehicle rides stable over these events but it feels and sounds harsh.
Is it the bushings (spindle, control arms....) or may be the shocks?

Please advise!

Bump

There is too many factors to look into...check your shocks, try to push the front, if it bounce more than twice, then its the shocks, get your spring, maybe one of them is broken....take it to a shop and ask them to lift up the car.
