I finally got a chance to look at it last night (thank goodness for
public transportation). I took the wheel off and swung the calipers
out of the way. The rotor assembly with the pads attached is very
loose. I'll have to get behind the whole hub assembly with a better
light than I had yesterday. With the wheel and calipers off should the
rotor be movable (I don't mean rotationally, but side to side)? Maybe
I'm chasing the wrong thing, but the left rotor with the wheel off is
very firmly fixed in place, unlike the right side.
