So do you guys think it is an issue with kingpin thingy and time to change? Or is it a normal dirt you should see?

jack it up and grab the wheel top and bottom and woddle it if you have movement the kingpins may be shot and then spin the wheel fast if it makes a droning noise it the wheel bearing hope this helps

thanks for the advise! have done what you suggested and no wobbling or any movement, haha..so i can safely conclude that the king pin etc are still good to go!

Now is the only problem with the warped front disc.. my steering wobbles like crazy if i brake at higher speed! Apio japan seems to have quite a nice disc and tons of other items!

It is very frustrating whenever the road is bumpy or uneven, when i drive through it, the whole brake pedal seems to rattle so much that it feels like it is gonna come off! Is there something i'm missing out here?

As for warp brake disc, does it wobble when you brake at certain speed or does it occur at any speed? Because mine only happens at certain speed, usually 70-80km/hr.

I had the floor wet problem before, and it was the aircon water outlet. You may have a look and it is a easy and quick fix.
