Tryed this and nothing happend so im thinking i just freaked when i saw this.

Here is what someone else said on another thread...The rotor can move if it's not fused (like with rust) to the hub/bearing.

When they're new, and the brake calipers are removed, they slip on and off. With the calipers attached, you can wiggle them if the rust hasn't bonded them to the hub.
So are you saying you are just wiggling the rotor - not the hub bolts???
All rotors wiggle, the lugnuts hold them in place...
