That wobble is to be expected from years and years of use. It can be minimized, however, bu installing a wedge between the lower and upper bolster, where the narrow front bolts on. The wide side of the wedge in front and the narrow side in back creates a castor like condition which in essense places the front wheel axles behind the pivot point of the steering. It wont take all the wobble out, but some. To my knowlege, the wedge is 1/4 to 1/2 inch thicker in front than at the rear. YOu may have to have it custom made. Short of that, you can always rebuild the steering gear mechanism.
