I suggest taking it to another dealership or a qualified subaru tech who isn't going to overlook an obvious mechanical problem.
The first time I went in they told me it was a bent rim causing all the problems. I bought two new passenger side wheels with nothing getting resolved. I just moved back from San Diego and the car is in the dealer I bought it from now and I'm hoping I get a little more help. I will update when the car is returned to me..... (7th service for same problem in under 18 months) should I go after lemon law?

Was this BRZ in an accident that caused the bent rim? Whatever force that would bend the rims could also bend the suspension components.

Never in a wreck, they thought I might have hit a pothole or something in the road during my cross country trip. I did get curb rash on that side so i got two new wheels because I hated looking at it. The rash was from street parking so I think they just saw that and used it to say it could be bent.
