    Try posting in the "wanted" section of the classifieds rather than on someones Your Mountain BIkes thread-you may actually find what you want and will avoid all the sarcastic replys.

    Basically, It is somehow loose or something so when i turn or pull the front brake, the tyre shifts and hits the forks

    I'd be inclined to strip the hub back to the bearings and check them. I would say it's likely the bearings are loose. Failing this I would check the QR skewer.

    Is the skewer coming loose when riding?

    Luckily I haven't had the problem. But saying that I've replaced all the bearings in the front wheel for new.
