Front end noise

Took a long drive today and on the way back home I noticed alot of noise coming from the front drivers side wheel. It sounded like a worn brake pad metal against metal combined with banging and clunking. It was mostly during braking. Got home and got the truck lifted. The pads were good but there was alot of up and down (12 o clock and 6 o clock) play in the wheel and very small amount of side to side play. The whole rotor assembly is moving inside the brake assemble causing it to bind. I'm sure that this was where the noise was coming from. The tire is also wearing strangely choppy and on the inside. What coul be causing this? I was hoping that someone could point me in the right direction.

Got the father inlaw over and found the problem. The lower ball joint is shot.
