Default Prop/Drive Shaft, brake question

I replaced front rotors and pads, little bubbles in the lines but we bled it. When I am coast'n down a hill in idle I can still hear the front brakes drag at a certain point. And it gets worst when going around a curve.

Ya'll think air might still be in the lines, or could I have a wheel bearing bad? Up on the lift the tires did not move barely at all when you move top, bottom back to forth.

Next inquire;

Well when we had the car up on the lift I was just checking around and came upon the propeller shaft. (note; no weight on any tires or suspension) When I put my hands on either side of the center bearing I could lift the shaft up and down like a 1/2 in to an inch.

Is that normal? I thought the shaft should not move at all if its bolted to axel and tranny (even if its a two piece). New center bearing?

Also, info why I think its bad; car still has little vibration on highway speeds, and some times a really rough shift when tranny engages like a big clunk sound. Almost like the shaft is jumping up at the bearing. The support braket looks like it has taken some twisting stress.

Thanks guys
