Guys, need some help here..... last night took the car to work as per usual. Noticed straight away that when I was braking there seemed to be a perceptible judder through the car bodywork. The harder I had to brake the worse it was. No issue with shudder through the steering wheel so I suspected the back brakes possible. Took the rear pads out today and they are down to the groove in the middle...is this too low or do I have more meat left in them. Anyway, both rear discs look as if they are hardly working at all with some surface rust on them... :bricks:

One other strange thing I noticed last night. When I started the car there was a loud metallic clang/clunk from somewhere upfront.......wondering if this is related or just coincidence.....could engine mounts or bushes or wheels bearings cause this effect....dont want ot start throwing money at the car in blind hope......
