Unhappy Jelly steering

Hi,
MY00 PPP with Eibachs and 17's,
my car has gained a wobble on the front drivers side wheel at certain speeds. under accelerattion it feels like the drivers side wheel is trying to pull the car to the right. At other speeds it seems to just wobble.
I have had the car in to Subaru and also a specialist in the North East, both could not find any visible wear or any apparent problems, although I am not sure if either took the car for a test drive. I also checked the bearings for play but could not find any.
IT IS NOT AN IMAGINARY PROBLEM. MY CAR DOES NOT HANDLE ANY MORE IT IS A JELLY. MY VAN WOULD BEAT IT ROUND THE BENDS.
Does anyone know of anything that can be causing this????
Please please help......Or anyone in the North East who can sort it out.
This is beginning to put me off driving it, I prefer my Transit, as it seems to go in a straight line.
Sorry, just getting fed up.
JT

Believe it or not a friend had last two years a similar problem and was the bearing inside the front right top mount that caused it!
He changed the front top mounts along with his suspension and problem gone by "magic". His car also pulled to the right.
Easy and cheap but no one couldn't find it as he visited many times the service about!
Just an opinion may be isn't related though!
