A pulsation when braking, and a loud screeching noise(pads also gone).
There will be a pulsating on braking.

Bad rotors
No just the bad one.
If you have a pulsation on stopping the rotors are warped. They will need to be checked with a micrometer to determine if they can be resurfaced of discarded. The government set the regulations.

You do not rotate rotors. Replace a bad rotor or have it machined if possible. Never rotate them to another wheel location.
bad brake rotors or alignment shocks struts
