Loose brake rotor

I've noticed when I hit a bump I hear a rattling sound coming mostly from my driver's side. I took off the wheel and noticed my front rotors are wobbly, could that be the source of the rattling noise?
There are no bolts to hold it in place. If I do need bolts what size to get? If the rotors are not the problem then what is? HELP!!!

I sounds like my front end is gonna fall off or something

well do this..
put the wheel back on and keep your eye on the rotor as you tighten the wheel lug nuts.

let me know what happens.

When the wheel is off, the rotor will be loose. The same lug nuts that holds the wheel on are also what tightens the rotor to the hub. In other words, your problem is not a loose rotor.

What you will need to do is put the wheel back on and shake it while you observe the suspension components. A rattling should could be any of a 100 things.

Re: Re: Loose brake rotor

Thanks for the feedback. I did what you said to do. With the wheel on I turn it to left and right and feel play like it loose. I just changed my driver's side axel and ball joints.
