Wire attached to front suspension
While successfully replacing the front right shock bushings on my 95 XJR, I noticed a rather thick electrical wire that had become detached from some part of the front suspension due to wear. I didn't think to take a picture of it...but does anybody know why this wire is for? It looked like some sort of electrical ground the way it was (supposed to) be attached. Being detached does not seem to have any affect on the car (that I can detect).

I think it may well be the wheel speed sensor ground, although if disconnected, you should be showing an ABS warning on the dash. Unless it's a back up, in the event that the sensor itself also forms a ground.
Look at the opposite side wheel area and see if anything there makes sense.
Apart from that, a brake pad wear sensor wire is all that comes to mind.

A million variations. I'm only across the water and there are ground leads on all four sensors on my car. It might be a static discharge, it might be a supplemental ground or it might be for some, as yet, undiscovered gizmo, but that's just my 2 cents worth.
