Kingpins, wheel bearings, steering arm bushes, steering box loose, erm... best to get a mate to turn the wheel while u listen/look.

Or jack up that wheel and give it a wobble :) .. up/down movement is kingpins shot, left/right is bearings.

The 1.3 will fit but you will need a 413 or Samurai gearbox.

The engine mounts will need adjusting too.

If you are going to go through the hassle I would recommend fitting a 1.6 as its not much more work.

There's a few things it could be but valve stem oil seals are a really common reason for smoking on those engines.
