Loose steering
yup happened on my 96 scrambler,
now what you havent been told yet is the solution..

scroll down about 3/4 of the way, and your savior is there,
you will need to drill out the holes in the bracket a tiny bit, you will need a dremel, or right angle grinder type deal.
Up top (under the clamps)
is probably shot too.. EPI or Hot seat or maye rick ritter makes a hard bushing kit for up there,
I just bought the stockers off bikebandit.com (cheapcycleparts.com is cheaper, but for 1 part shipping might come to more than bb)
Also, check the steering shematics on this site, replace any of the little crap that gets worn out, its all cheap, and it will make a big difference,
Check out the HPD steering stabilizer / damper its right next to the bushing in the first link i sent, its SICK

Loose steering
Well, the nut was loose. the cotter pin must have sheared off on both ends leaving the remains wedged in the hole. Wow was that pin hard to get out, not much room to maneuver. Didn't pull the bushing, just tightened the nut, reinstalled a new cotter and greased. Like new.
Not sure how that cotter came out/sheared, but it did. Just happy I noticed now in the comfort of my garage than on the trail 20 miles in the middle of no where! I could see that nut coming all the way off without the cotter. Go to pop the front end over a log....steering column might end up in the lap, could get ugly in a hurry.
Thanks for the heads up, if I have any future issues I know where to look for the bushing(BB), good schematics.
