30 seconds with two wrenches to tighten the bolt is essentially "free" and could very well fix the problem. Try that first.

It could have been left loose for so long that the hole is wallowed out and you won't be able to tighten it. You won't know until you try, but if tightening it doesn't help then you can try to wrap the spindle with something to shim it out and give the arm more to clamp on. Roof flashing, or a cut-up beer can works, and again, nearly free.

You gotta deal with the white elephant in the room first. The loose steering arm is the white elephant. Once you have that fixed, if it still wobbles you can go looking for less obvious causes of the problem.

Most of the time simply tightening it will work.
