steering gearbox loose? Deffinately have something wrong. Your alignment guy should have found a problem. A good alignment guy would have. And just because it is in factory specs. does not mean it is aligned properly. These cars basically require a total custom alignment. In my eyes all cars need a custom alignment. But i'd take it to a known reputable front end shop and have them inspect it.

i had the same problem, and i took it back to the alignment shop again, and it fixed it quite a bit, but not perfect. And ive heard of people having to take their thirdgens back several times for re-alignment. If not that, check for loose bolts. i jacked up the front of the car and moved it back and forth and checked for play underneath. Id start with that
