This can also be the ball joint as was the case on my wife's 9-3. It was only noisy on tight turns, and usually involving a small bump. I lifted the front end, and gave a good shake to the wheel. For me, it was the right side. Looking underneath while shaking, there was visible movement in the ball joint. It's easy to replace, as the whole control arm comes off (3 bolts, and separation of the ball joint stud). The only "special" tools were a pickle fork to separate the ball joint, and a larger Torx bit for the stanchion arm bolt. I think T-60? (can't remember exactly).
I don't think motor mounts can "sag" on this car. When the rubber part fails, they just still sit the same, but have more freedom to move when the engine is torqued. Honestly, I think the shop made that up.
