Took the wife's '82 Lebaron to a shop for a oil change and they did a free safety inspection. They found that the right front driver's side wheel had a slight wobble when you grabbed the top and bottom of the tire and wiggled it back and forth. They mentioned that it looked like it had a new CV boot and it may be related to the installation of that. The car did have a slight wiggle in the steering wheel that I blamed on the cheap tires the previous owner installed.
About 3 years ago I did have a new boot and axle put in as the old boot was ripped and the mechanic said water had gotten inside. Got home, jacked the car up, and thought I would just tighten the nut in case that was loose. The nut is tight and so far in that the cap that the cotter key goes through isn't even touching the cotter key. The nut appears to be as far down on the threads as it will go and can't be tightened any further yet the wheel is still loose. Can I add some spacers/washers in front of the nut to give more threads to tighten down?
I would take it back to the shop where I had it fixed but the owner died about 2 years ago and the shop closed up.
