Default AU Wheel hub and Disc Question

Hey

Just had the front wheel hubs on my AU series 1 replaced by the workshop a few days ago.

I noticed a knocking, or creak everytime i place my foot on the pedal. When I turn the wheel i also hear quite a loud clunk too.

Anywyas I took the wheels off. I noticed they put wheel hubs which have ABS on even though my car doesnt have abs....

More worrying though, if i grab one side of the brake disc and lightly pull on it it flexes. ie if i pull on the disc the side not held by the caliper moves up and almost off the hub studs. When the wheel is off the only thing holding the disc on is the calipers.

Is this normal? is the brake disc held on by the caliper and wheel?
Also are the AU series 1 and two wheel hubs the same?

Any help would be much appreciated
