Front end wobble

in road gear the front end of my 300 RC will wobble, not all the time, but enough so I do not want to go on road trips. This is a wide front end, but I am sure it would do the same with the narrow front on it. Is there an adjustment, or is something worn out? Thanks John
 
Toein should be 3/16 to 1/4" from front to rear of the tires. Measured with the tractor pushing on a 2X4 so there is some pressure pushing toward the rear. Before measuring, lift the wheel and use a jack stand or concrete block to hold a nail steady to scribe a line in the rubber of the tire to measure to (spin the tire and scribe it)
Next is the spindle bushings in each side of the axle. These can have as much a .005 or so play when the load is taken off of them. If more, it will be tough to keep wobble at bay.
Then tierod ends on each side.
Then the steering bolster and its bushings.
Next the sector gear and worm in the box need to be tight.
Then the U joints in the steering shaft.
The archives have many clear descriptions on these repairs. Jim
