I'm not privy to this headset problem of yours, but why is it wobbling/whatever???

What's the condition of your fork's bearing race? Have you "installed" a new fork?

hmm the cap between fdrame and forks is not touching the frame if thats bad idk their a space

I don't understand. What cap?

The only problem I've had with a wobbly/rattling fork was forgetting to install on my new fork the bearing race from my old fork. A lot of the new forks have said race machined right into the crown. And what I've just said implies the use of an integrated headset. I haven't messed with a "standard" headset since the '80s.

Again, I'm not sure what you mean in your above post...

lol how old you? and it liek ratlles and wobbles ive tryed tightening bolt to compress but thta makes it hard to move...

Very old... but still not the "oldest."

Based on the fact that tightening the compression bolt makes it hard to turn, yet it still rattles leads me to believe it's a bearing race issue. Again, have you installed a new fork? Do you have an integrated headset? If the answer to both of those questions is "yes," did you remove the bearing race from the old fork and put it on the new fork before you installed it?

If this rattling just came outta nowhere or if you installed a new fork with a "built in" bearing race or you're using a standard headset, I'm out of "solutions."

you need a spacer

no i got new frame and new intergrated headset on old forks

I think you're missing the crown race.

But if he were "missing" spacers how could he tighten the compression cap so much that the steering gets "stiff?" If he doesn't have "enough" spacers - regardless if they're above or below the stem - his compression cap will just torque down on the top of the fork tube. What am I missing!?!

It's 6:00 am here. I must be going. Sorry I couldn't help, glubbers...

Agreed, bearing race. I just can't figure why, if he used his old fork, the race isn't still there. I mean, surely, he wouldn't have taken it off.

i have a crown race
