I have to pull two small gravity wagons around twenty miles loaded with ear corn with a pickup this weekend. One wagon pulls good at around forty miles an hour the other about twenty. I want to pull them together to save a trip would it make a difference by putting the sloppy one behind the truck or not? Thanks for your time

Putting the sloppy one behind the truck and the better one to the rear is setting it up for crack the whip. Put the better one behind the truck.
Might be worth your time to try to take some of the slop out of the steering. Check for worn tie rod ends and check the toe-in.

Save a trip sounds like it could be very costly. your only talking one hour and a half vs possible catastrophe. Remember your not the only one on the road. You must consider the danger to others when that wagon whips you or itself into the other lane. Make two trips. Take it slow and easy. Probably won't need to say, " I WISH I WOULD HAVE ??????". jmho gobble

Put the sloppy one in back. Then just drive according to that one in back.
As for going 40 with a gravity wagon. We have one I pull about 50 on the road empty with a pickup. Old truck frame and is right where you are if you drive straight it is there.

If you run a spring from the tongue to one tie rod end to hold the slop to one side it will do wonders for holding the wagon steady. If you get too much tire scuffing you need to fix the wagon.
But take two trips.
