    Ford 4610 Steering problem

    My 4610 2wd front wheels start to really wobble when I'm driving it on the road. The steering wheel is steady with no real vibration in it. I have checked the joints and linkages on it and nothing seems to have much play in them. Is there anything else that could cause this too happen?
