Why would it not match up like the rest Shane ? what makes it different, i cant see anything unusual in the vid, what about the one on the drivers side, have you a video of that one ? also check the ball joint mountings and rubbers for wear, did you check that one of the the wheels has not got buckled, how long has it been wobbling, also check tyres for damage or an egg on one of them Shane,

the wire is an earth wire and could do with being atatched to the gearbox really but maybe left over from the engine conversion but would not do any harm in being atatched to the box and as for wobelying have you tried changing the front to rear and see if stops then would indicate a balance/wheel fault.

I agree the wire might as well be connected, sometimes there is a spade connection under the distributor that it connects to, there should be an earth bolted to the front face of the gearbox somewhere.

hi shane the spacer is just to centre the wheel cos the centre is to big for hub.

Check the driver's side drive shaft cos the pass side is a abs drive shaft are the 2 the same? the wire goes to the gearbox for a earth just over from clutch cable...

As other's have said try changing wheels front to rear..

i'm confused about this wheel thing?? so all the other wheels are ok? is that one wheel for a different car? different offset?

 

are you talking about the centre of the wheel not sitting on the hub centre due to the wheel centre being alot bigger? if so you can get spacers to go inside the wheel to get it to sit and fit onto the hub properly.

 

if you haven't got the right ring inserts inside the wheel. it will judder. if you have a spacer on one side only it will judder. if your wheel is juddering all the time like that. you need to get the right wheels on your car, else your gonna knacker bearings and bushes up like theres no tomorrow. that earth will be the least of your worries chap. :punish::steeringwheel:
