There is this scraping noise when i turn the wheel manually. it gets louder when travelling at a higher speed. The scraping sounds is bearable but gets annoying when travelling at fwy..

All 4 wheels have this metal scraping noise... turned all 4 of them manually and i also shaked all 4 of them. They just make scraping sounds but none of them behave like a wheel bearing problem or i might be wrong...

might be the brake pads?

My exhaust also have a strong petrol smell... and mileage is around 400km for a full tank so i assume the oxygen sensor need to be replace?

Look at Race brakes RB74 & might as well upgrade the Rotors to some DBA Gold 4000 series while you have everything off. (i think they're 4000's :roll: )

Exhaust running rich most likely Oxygen Sensor (o2 sensor) as you said.
$90-110 or so from ebay. Bosch 1 2 3 4 wire universal
