Thanks for all the advice! The wobble is as far as I can determine, the wheel being loose on the splines. The nut was loose (as in no resistance to take off, none), and I believe the car was driven that way. Wheel to shaft develloped play. Since it has play, I can not figure out what would hold it in place now. I did peek behind the wheel, and I can see the shaft sticking into the wheel. So there is space between the wheel and the cast part behind it. Does that mean that the two pieces you mention are gone, and the previous owner simply reefed the wheel on, busting the splines, etc?

On my wife helping me: Wel... Still getting her used to a real project. A delicate matter. Standard issue family vehicle is the Swedish brick (3 x Volvo 240), also 780, Range Rover, Nissan Maxima, Chrysler Town & Country, and her BMW 535I. Man, we got wheels!! I am the designated mechanic, and the mean time beteen failures is very high. Even so with that many cars, maintenance takes time. The appearance of the JH did not cause the joy it did for the rest of the family. So suggestions for a suitable bribe most welcome.
