Another test you can do is to jack the tire off the ground (with it bolted on) and try to move the tire with your hand. If it moves when you apply pressure at 12 o'clock & 6 o'clock then your bearing is toast. At 3 & 6 only then it may be tie rod end.

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.
