Tie Rod End?
Theres a little bit of play in my front wheels and its causing one point of the rotor to rub up against the pads..so I'm guessing it the tie rod end? or wheel bearing? any suggestions?

I don't see how a tie rod could cause this. A bearing would have to be way gone to cause it. Have you lifted a wheel and shook it, to check for bearing play?
I would pull the pads to see if they are OK. My pads came apart recently.

yea i just replaced my rotors and pads..before i replaced them it wasn't doing it, and it began doing it when i replaced them..i figured it was cheap rotors that weren't machined very well, so i got new ones but haven't gotten a chance to drive the car yet, I'm still waiting to do the rears and haven't had time
