Hi All,
Thought I'd update as I'm sure some people are curious about what ended up happening with this car.
I did try cleaning the wheel speed sensors on the fronts (I.E. taking them out of the hub, spraying some contact/electronic cleaner on them and reinstalling), which to my dismay did nothing.
I ended up fixing the issue by uninstalling all of the front suspension I.E hub/control arms/sway bars/speed sensor/end links/brake caliper/disc/etc. (I left the coil overs on via. the top hats, but everything else was removed the car).
I while everything was off the car I wanted to paint the brake calipers and paint the control arms and the sway bar mounts as they had a bit of surface rust on them (which annoyed me seeing as the car only 7ish years old).
See attached photos. I was surprised how much I like the black brakes.
Anyway, after leaving the paint to dry for a day, I put the everything back together and on the first test drive, it finally drove like an 86.
So not 100% sure what actually fixed the issue but the car drives so much better.
That was about a month and a half ago. Just about to take it for an alignment tomorrow to get it dialed in, now that the car is driving right.

Also, current pic of the car near a Ferry in NSW Sydney
Need to paint the rear brakes, but one day soon.
