First check is going to be pulling the speed sensor and checking grease. I jacked the front today and had NO play in the wheel, holding at 6 and 12 and rocking it, it was solid. I have no groaning, whirling, grinding, just an occasional squeal at low speeds (again think it may be ujoint OR the rubber boot at the CV as it touches itself makes a rubber squeak). I'm so afraid of yanking the speed sensor out and breaking it off, if/once I get it out, how do you put it back in, just push it in?
I am actually ready for new rotors but I don't want to put new ones on until I rule everything else out and chance ruining them - like I said before I have cheap ass Duralast pads on there from Autozone just as a test so they will be replaced also with the new rotors. I will try the swap and see what happens, I really hope it's the rotor. Thanks for your input, just wondering how to put the speed sensor back in if you can let me know, thanks.

that squeal is most likely the pads constantly rubbing, when hot make these sounds..
if you use the penitrating oil [NOT WD-40] AND BE CAREFUL AND EASY ON IT ,,,it will come out...putting it back it will slide in ...then screw the allen stud down to lock in place.
wash down the area first / use a small wire brush,,,then apply the pentitrating oils...
