I had the same issue last year. Car drove fine until it got hot, usually after 1hr drive. Took.it.to multiple shops and found nothing. After spent $300 total in inspection, I decided to get my hands dirty and started throwing parts instead... With my luck, the last piece that I replaced was the troublemaker. Ended up with all new suspension.
I started by replacing sway bar bushings, no change. next was drop links, no change. There was no play in control arms and track arms, so next was inner and outer tie rods. Multiple discussions in rennlist on 996 inner tie rods.making clunky noise when grease dry and car gets hot. no change..
so next was both control and track arms.. and same noise.
the last thing was strut and upper strut mount. that cured the problem. when I got the upper strut mounts from dealer, part number has been revised to 997 part. Front has 997 number and rear has been revised to 987 part.

I ended.up with all new suspension...
