There was an article in Panarama several years ago about another 914 that did this and everything on the front end had been replaced to no avail. Seem the hole in the bottom of the strut that the ball joint fitted into had become 'D' shaped on one side and even though the pinch bolt was tight it allowed the strut to move on the ball joint. There was a picture of the bottom of the strut and a new strut was the only fix. Pull the ball joint off and check the holes in the bottom of the strut to make sure thay are truly round. Good luck.
