After wheeling felt wobble, brakes went out

[Amgreppin]

Was wheeling the old girl today(1988 broncoii) and on the way home heard a sound. My wheel had some wobble. When i got home i noticed this. https://vimeo.com/171249461 There is a gap between caliper and front end on the passenger side. Before i rip it apart, has anyone seen this before? My only guess is the bottom caliper nut backed out. Thanks

Well that video was delightfully uninformative. Mostly in that it took my 4 watches to see what I think you are after.

Jack it up, get the wheel off. It does look like the wheel is starting to run away, you probably blew out the wheel bearings on that side. Your calipers don't have nuts, they are held in by pins.

Sorry, video wasnt great. My front right wheel look cambered, and the rotor is an inch/ inch and 1/4 spaced from bottom of rotor towards the center of the truck, on the bottom side of rotor.

I had a wheel come off once...I was able to slow down and get off the road before it came right off...but as mentioned by Adsm08...only way to tell what is going on is to pull the wheel...hopefully you didn't sheer the nut off if the bearing collapsed like mine did...had to replace the spindle...not a hard thing to do...but that was one of my first projects...and it lasted another 12 years with no problems...

It wound up being my non existent wheel bearings

Yes, you get alot freer wheel movement without those pesky bearings, although there is a downside
