The belt might have stretched. But if the tensioner was not rattling, then there is no need to replace it (you'll see it bounce around if the tensioner is worn).

Tensioner was rattling and bouncing at idle at the time. The belt was actually fine, but figured for an extra $30, no point in just doing the tensioner!

If yours is an auto, then it is not warped. The shitty OEM pads will leave deposits on the hot discs. Just give it a quick sand and replace the pads with any aftermarket ones.

Replaced with aftermarket pads already (RacingBrake ET300)! Have to say that whilst the situation did improve over OEM pads, some brake shudder still exists. At least it's now at a "bearable" level as opposed to the "I hate using the brakes" level.

Did you have your car since new? Stock shocks tend To crap themselves if car was lowered on springs.

Is your car lowered on springs? If not, then you might be cornering too quickly or you drive really quick over poor condition roads or speed bumps.

Had the car since 62k. Not sure if the previous owner had done anything to it but it was bone stock when I picked it up. Never been lowered during the time I've had it.

I definitely don't corner too quickly , but like for like on same (poor condition Sydney) roads at the same speeds, my own car is underdamped as compared to say a new Jetta, Mazda6, or even the facelift CU2. There is a section of road that we use at work for suspension benchmarking - it consists of a big dip (i.e. downhill, immediately followed by an uphill section) that is taken at 90km/h. Most new cars we've taken through there will handle it with no excessive rebound, whilst my CL9 felt like it bounced a whole foot off the ground and was definitely an "oh $@^$!!" moment!

Not trying to stir sh*t here though - I still absolutely love the car and am happy to sink money into it to get it fixed, despite the fact that it would be slightly cheaper and less problematic for me to sell up and lease a company car instead!
