I just change my pads ...brake pads that is and for some odd reason , not sure if this is normal or not but the pass side rotor when i took the cailper up and pads off the rotor wobbles back and forth. I didnt notice the driver side doing this. Is the rotor bolted down ? or does it just use the lug nuts to hold them is place ?Just tryig to see if that wobble is normal.
 
I believe that there is a bolt of some sort in the center of the wheel. See if there is a way to tighten that down!

Hope this may help. OMG
 
i believe it is normal, i can remember mine doing that as well. Then i checked it after i put the wheel back on and they were tight.

that nut in the middle of the rotor is the axle nut.
 
They are going to wobble a bit until you put the wheel back on and tighten it. The rotors dont actaully bolt on. They slide over the lugnuts and whe you tight the wheel it hold then tight.
