yes the car has done 105,000 km the the rotors were changed along with pads just before I bought the car. They are brembo calipers & brembo rotors. I machined them at 92,000.
I will look into changing the wheel bearings but I assume I have to remove the brakes when doing so (not done wheel bearings in a long time) so I was looking at doing things together.
Seems the more I research the more confusing it gets, I have read it could be the above but also the lower control arm bushes as well, amongst a host of other stuff. plus leaving the rotors until everything else has been looked at first. Funds are not great at the moment so I can't afford to waste it on unnecessary replacements.
