So I took both of the front wheels off and dropped the axle all the way down. Then I started to wiggle and shake the entire front. All seem to be firm and nothing seem to be loose or make a clacking noise.

However, I realised that I can turn the the axle even with wheels off very easy. I remember that this was not possible with both of my V8's. I had to turn the steering wheel even with front wheels on to move the tyres to left or right. even with the damper on it was with very little force. Now when I can do this by simply grabbing the brake disks and turn the the wheel hubs then it is nothing comparable if this happen with 80 or 100Km/h. Could it be that the steering box is shot? I do not have any other explanation tbh. This should simply not be possible.
