Passenger side kingpin bearings changed, everything was seized, but a big hammer and drill works wonders.
The lower bearing was fairly rusty. The top bearing didn’t look great either, although prior to starting I couldn’t feel any play.
Anyway new bearings installed and a test drive showed no wobble at any speeds. The steering is still very light, so fitted the steering damper, now it takes a bit more effort, but a huge improvement, the steering is not as stiff as my other car, but it is more like a normal drive now, perfectly acceptable.
