The other day i heard a loud scrape from the front right side. I didnt think it was any thing bad. So today i get in and drive. When i ture the wheel to right i hear that loud scrape again. Its really loud. I check it out and there is a fresh deep grove wore into the rotor!!! I then shake the tire and the whole rim and rotor shake and hit the brake capilar. I then jack it up and the whole wheel is competely loose!! it just flops and hits the capilar. I take the rim off and the rotor is completely loose and wants to fall off but the capilar is in the way. the stud plate is loose too. WHAT IS GOING ON HERE!!????

Yikes. Sounds bad. I'd just continue taking things apart and see what you find. Sounds like something went wrong with the steering knuckle. My first guesses would be lower ball joint or wheel bearing catastrophic failure or the nut holding onto the axle hub came loose or off.
