I had an issue similar to this and it ended up being a cracked front subframe

I will inspect the subframe tomorrow. How’d you end up fixing it? Welding it? Or replacing it?

As far as that kind of damage goes, you might also inspect the strut tower tops, and upper strut mounts. The epoxy "welds" can rip out, or the bearings get loose, respectively.
