Rear discs

[drough]

Hi all,

Is there a quick way to tell if my rear discs have had it? Did a nice 'tour of Scotland' last weekend (unfortunately spoiled by some b*****d putting a cobblestone through my windscreen outside the hotel in Edinburgh - had to come home on the back of an AA flatbed, but that's another story!) and whilst driving slowly with the windows open noticed a slight 'squeak'. Also, when braking from high speed there is a resonating noise that appears to come from the rear. I sometimes think that I can detect a slight judder but that might be my imagination. I recently had the front discs replaced so it can't be them. The rears look quite worn, but no more than some other cars I have owned with life left in them.

Thanks

If they look quite worn on the outer face, then you need to have a good look at the inner faces. The inner face always corrodes MUCH more than the outer one. You would be amazed how bad they can get, yet show no obvious sign through pedal feel or lack of stopping power.
