Default Rear Rotor problems/questions

I just recently had a brake company to replace my rear rotors and pads. Now I know this is a simple task and I usually do it myself, but every since these guys did the work I am having problems with scrubbing and squealing noises. I back once and they simply pushed the shroud back around the rotor..which worked nicely until I got home. So I finallu got ticked enough to pull off the rear wheels to see what's going on and the frigging rotors have about an eighth of an inch of play around the studs and I need to know if this is normal. Also, aren't there screws in the rotor to hold it in place? When off of the ground, my rear wheel shakes around like it's about to come off. Is this supposed to be a snug fit as well? I think they may have simply put the wrong rotors or some universals on the car, but I wanna make sure before I go up there to kick some a$$, LOL!

There are many threads on here with guys who can not get the rotors off the hub because they are such a snug fit.

You absolutely got the wrong rotors. A couple years back, I had a similar issue with Escort rotors getting put on my Taurus.

The fit should be snug. There should be no play. I have no idea what they used, but I would get my money back and then some.

Well gang, come to the conclusion that it was the wheel bearings on the rear end. They had the rotors flopping all over the freakin place. After spending $105.00 on each bearing and 198 on a wheel hub, she's finally riding good again. I am not even gonna tell you what the labor was...man I miss my chevy! LOL!
