i had a similar problem on a 92 wagon which i could not duplicate except while driving under load.

the struts and mounts were not new but not the problem.

get under the front of the car and remove the splash pan to get a better view.

at each each control near the wheel there is an end link which connects via a rod the control arm with the sway bar.

now that you have the sway in hand follow it up to where it bolts to the frame isolated by a rubber bushing within a metal cup...one each side of the car.

your trouble is very possibly in that bushing within the cup. they wear leaving slop in the sway bar which only flexes against the frame within the cup under load.

if there is any play in the sway bar within the bushing/cup location you have found your trouble.

NOTE: the bushing is cheap to replace but if the bushing is original make SURE you get the same one....most replacements use a different bushing requiring a different cup.

none of this much money but make sure what you get is old style if that is what is in the car.
