I had that problem with a 51 Ford, many years ago. It had a loose idler arm,
but it wasn't worn bad enough to cause the wobbleees, just bad enough to
allow the wheels to wobble when they wanted to. The cure was to balance the
tires and wheels. Then, when I was able to afford it, I replaced the idler
arm...
... Power doesn't corrupt people, people corrupt power.
