I got everything tightened and I still have play between my rotor and my caliper and makes my truck shake like crazy driving. I can't figure out how to get that play out of the rotor between the caliper, it's got too much play there it's cool it's shaking back and forth I guess when I'm hitting 60 I mean it's telling you hear popping but wheel bearings good how do I I said it's a floating caliper the bolts are floating I don't make no sense I would think they need to tighten up on her and they don't.

It sounds like something is not assembled correctly or the wrong parts are installed. Here is a video of the job being done so you can go over it, please upload images of the problem so I can see as well.
