Guess I'll have to do that too -- mine is getting close to undrivable
and the station wagon has both front springs with chunks missing off
the ends, and until I get them replace I won't drive it.
Probably need ball joints up front, too, and I suspect a steering

Replace the subframe mounts - there are four, fronts are different
than rears.
This will cure most of the strange behavior, if not all.
Check the condition of the tie rods, too, just in case.
I'm planning on doing this job on the 300D, same issue.
