hey gang, I need some serious help!

Was changing rear passenger brake pads and when i went to put the tire back on i noticed that the rotor was very loose. I know the rotor needs to be replaced since its worn down beyond the point of having it turned. I figured it would be OK for at least another day or 2 but after i firmly tightened the lugnuts i can grab a hold of the tire and shake it and when there's weight on the tire it sits at a slight angle..I hope this is just because of the bad rotor or could it be something more?

your hub bearings are shot.

Yep, I replaced mine with a timken set, got the set for about $150. Install was pretty easy, the rear wheel hubs are held on by just 4 bolts that are accessed from behind. Added benefit, if you change the hubs you can keep the ABS problem at bay. That's actually why I changed my rear hubs in the first place

ya it's probably your worn rear rotor causing ****ed up tire issues, change the rotors. change your pads too.

Yeah I started to suspect the bearings after I posted. Sure enough it was shot to hell. Went ahead and replaced both rotors too while I was at it..Whole job cost me about $215..Good as new now.
