Try checking the strut top bush:
Jack up one corner so the wheel is unsupported, then try to bounce the wheel up and down. It shouldn't move easily, but if it does, the bush has failed :-(

I have now checkt the sub frame bushings and the strut top bushing and cant find any problems with them. It is enough that they are just a little bad so the car becomes undrivable?
Im on the toe-in toe-out strut and looking for problems, the inner bushing are little weak.

Best way to figure out suspension bushes is to remove the spring and damper, then you really find out what's going on.
Disconnect the level sensor
Disconnect the lower arm from the wheel carrier
Disconnect the strut from the lower arm
Drop the lower arm and move the strut back
Reconnect the lower arm to the wheel carrier
Waggle everything around.
