Could be a rear wheel bearing.

Mullers are decent folks. If you aren't happy take it back and let them get it right. Sometimes a garage has to make a call between saving you money and doing everything they could. Better to fix a problem incrementally than to just heave a "we fixed everything" on you.

I am having similar probs. Replacing rack, strut top mounts (ask evorobin about his experiences), and having a good look at wishbone bushes. I replaced them a few years ago, but I am having huge problems... Front end is everywhere...
