Odd vibration, pulling

Hah, looks like I was right twice.  ;)

My passenger side axel is definitely shot, the outer boot apparently
not only tore, about 3/4 of it is actually missing!  I'm guessing a
chunk broke away, flew up around the wheel rim, and lodged itself in
there somewhere until it just chunked apart.  Looks like I've got a
weekend project...

Wheel bearings are good, no wobbling of the wheel when I jacked it up
tonight.  Some good news, anyway.
