Thank you for the insights guys but it was "non of the above" My repair shop agreed at first and looked at the struts... they were all OK.

It turned out that a bolt that holds a cross member to the subframe.. or something similar, sheared the welded nut off. The popped in a new hole, welded a new nut and fixed everything up just fine. $125.00 and the car runs great.

Befor you raise an eybrow at this, I will say my son curbed the car a year ago, and went through a complete left side half shaft,CV Joint, Upper and lower frame, strut, wheel, rotor, rear axel assembly bent and replaced, and then some.. so for this to happen even a year later with 3 auto crosses and a limrock park PDA Class) is a likely occurence.

Thanks again.
