Default Whole hub is loose in front - Video

Hey all, I'm new to this forum but not forums in general. I am coming to you to figure out what is going on with my 2002 Disco. Recently I noticed a rubbing in the front right wheel so I took the wheel off and the brake disc/hub have a lot of play in it. I don't know where to go from here and am not sure what is causing this problem. I can actually see the movement start to go into the axle past the (what I am guessing are U-Joints but not sure, maybe CV) and it's pretty loose in there.

Here is a video to show the issue.

your hub is beyond bad. The bearing inside the hub is smoked causing your rotor troubles. I would not recommend driving the truck until it is replaced.

I suspect that it is the bearing as well. How many miles does your truck have?

Yeah, I had a friend come check it out, he suspected bearing. I didn't think the bearing would make it that loose. I am in the process of replacing it but it's too dark and cold here tonight so I will work on it again in the morning.

The truck has 101,000 miles on it. I definitely won't be driving it until the bearing is replaced.
