Default No wonder I had a bit of a wobble!

After 3 long days in the garage, my car is now back and my wallet has taken a bit of a hit!

One of the issues was a worsening wobble/shudder on braking, as well as pretty poor braking performance. New front pads, new front discs and a replacement suspension arm seem to have cured this, thankfully, but I was surprised (no, horrified!) at the terrible state of the inside of the discs and the battle-scarred suspension arm!

Photos for your amusement/horror.
