on the steering shaft, where the handle-bars connect to the front wheel shaft, there is a bolt that was loose causing some play in the steering, tightened it up and was good for a while, now it has some play in it again, is this bolt something special or do I just tighten it up again ?

Is it the flat horizontal fork bearing nuts? If so mine come lose on my Tao too. I finally used blue thread lock the last time I tightened it. If its any other bolt or nut its a good idea to thread lock it anyway.

Are you talking about the bolt that goes through here?

If so then no, it is not supposed to be loose. I put a bolt through there and then used an aircraft nut on it. You know, the ones with the plastic lock ring. That way it won't come off.

yep, that be the one.
thank you
