Default Free Floating Rotor ???

ok so i have a 91 ef si and i have after market cross drilled and slotted rotors but on the driver side it likes to wobble even when the tire is on? but the pass. side doesnt not move an inch, since the rotors are aftermarket i cannot order the factory screws, what can i do?

if it wobbles when the wheel is bolted to it then its most likley the wheel bearing is bad. put the tire back on and bol it down and pump the breaks and if its still loose then check the wheel bearing.

ttt,
should the wheel hold it on? cause i know when the brakes are barely engaged it doesnt wobble but that isnt solving the problem i dont understand why the pass side doesnt wobble but the driver's does.

The wheels do not hold the rotors on

yes the wheel will hold the rotors on your dont need thos little screws but its good to have them,but like slow said if your wheel moves that much then you need a wheel bearings either that or your brake calipar is shot

hince, FREE FLOATING ROTOR DOUCHBAG. u should feel like a jackass, i know rotors take 2 little screws but since their aftermarket, which u clearly dont know anything about u ricer they are bigger and u can get the screws in the whole,therefore they are free floating. read a fucking book.

N alright should i just go to honda for the wheel bearing?

Free floating rotars are on other things, and I was just stating that they shouldent be if there are holes to put screws in to hold the rotors on.

thank ya sir, idk if thats it though. i dont see what the wheel bearings or w.e have to do with though. cause it just moves on the part that isnt under the caliper. its just the rotor, nothing else moves!!!!

I didn't see that stated at all? Not sure how you helped in any way?

I had a similar issue and it ended up being the wheel bearing.
