Had this for a while now but been ignoring it so far...

When I brake at any speed, there is a thudding noise, I think from the back end. Gets louder the harder I brake, and slows down as the car slows down.

I can actually feel the vibrations through the car when I brake now so I need to get it sorted incase there is something really wrong with the brakes, and I'd rather not have a disc explode or something.

A mate reckons it could be a worn UJ?

Although having heard the stories, I'm more inclined to think it's warped discs?

I'd go with warped discs or sticking caliper.

Best to get the wheel off and have a look, see if one of the pads is thicker than the other could be sticking caliper

As for warped discs your unlikely to be able to see that you'll need a dial indicator for that.
