Gary, I took my car back in on Saturday morning and demo'd the problem again to someone else. He thought it was subframe again. What he did was slacken subframe, tighten in specific order and he also found (which I think may be the key item) a loose bolt on "front suspension knuckle joint" - sorry I can't be any more specific than that and I hope that this means something to you (it doesnt to me). Anyway the problem has yet to rear its head after about 100-150 miles of driving this weekend. Ill keep you posted. Paul.
