That problem calls for a bit of a teardown.
The powerhead, mid section and gear case can easily be removed as one unit before you can remove the swivel tube. Once the tube is out, you can get at the brass plate and rubber piece which push on the fibre top bushing. It’s usually the rubber piece which is worn causing the loose steering. I cut replacements out of a sheet of neoprene type material and clean and regrease everything while it’s apart. A piece of inner tube has worked before to.
