While putting a shim on the rear break pads to stop the breaks from squealing I noticed that one of the disc was a little wabbley or loose. Is this serious. Is it something that has to be taken care of immediately or can I wait a while. The disc seems like it could almost slide right off so I didn't try. Help RAY M

No, That was the way the cars were built. the wheels hold the rotors on. Put the wheels back on and see if they move at all if they do you have a problem.

They didn't move after the wheels went back on. I've never had one move on me before and i wasn't sure. Thanks I was getting worried because it is my son's car actually. Ray M
