first off, my right front disc moves side to side when pushed on. when the tire is on, the whole thing moves. what would cause this?

also, when I rotate the front wheels, the brakes rub, do I need new pads or what?

thanks

 

bump.

 

Old balljoints could cause that, check if they are loose.

 

As for the disks, check if they are thin.

 

does the axle also move?

 

yes the axle also moves. it may not be seated properly in the tranny, i've gotta check it out

 

I was thinking wheel bearing, or the hub might not be bolted down properly.

but my first guess would be the wheel bearing.

 

i had the same problem, its the hub bearing, i just replaced the whole hub.
