Front hub lug bolts loose...?

See this thread for a video of what i'm talking about:

It just doesn't seem right to see the bolts moving inside the rotors!

Has anyone had this issue "corrected"?

This is a normal thing that is no problem. First off, once you torque the lugs on there is no way that it will move. Also, if the holes were any smaller in the rotor hat then it would be just about impossible to get the rotor off. It will not cause any clunking, squeeks, etc... On every car that I've owned from Buick Lesabre to Chevy Monte Carlo to Ford Mustang, they have all had a little slop there.
Bottom line, don't sweat it.

Thanks for the reassurance. I've never seen this on my previous cars...mostly classic BMW's that have a set-screw holding the rotor to the hub.

No problem. It's not the bolts that are loose, the holes in the rotor hats just a little bigger than the bolts. I wondered the same thing until I was informed by a few mechanics.
