  2. Check your brake pads!
  3. Check thrust arm bushings. (Some call them upper control arms). Bushing can go after several thousand kmÕs
  4. Replace/check tie-rod center, and Left & Right tie-rods.
  5. Check Struts / Shock absorbers while your there.
  6. Sometimes (rarely) disks are warped - replace them (machining is just as expensive if not more).
