Answer 1

if its the wheel its self, then remove split pin on spindle then tighten the nut if nut is tight & you can not see any gap between the hub &forks check berings by uting bike on stand then with one hand hold top of wheel & the other bottom of wheel now push withone hand &pull with other & vice versa if wheel wobbles you have faulty wheel berings

Answer 2

Frist i would remobe the axle and bearing clean them up, and instect for damage. If tyhey are o.k. pack with wheel bearing grease and re-install. Tighten down untill the wheel begind to drag, back off untill cotter key hole will line up , with wheel spinning freely.

Answer 3

there must be 3 bolts that could want tightened, 2 that carry the column as much as the sprint, you will could desire to take the plastic piece under the guidance column off after which you will see the two bolts retaining the column to the sprint and the different bolt is obvious on the backside of the guidance column suitable on the firewall on the interior the vehicle, that is referred to as a pinch bolt and it holds the guidance onto the guidance rack it is on the exterior of the firewall, make optimistic that bolt is tight.
