Sounds like maybe its out of alignment and also the wobbling can be caused by a few things like worn pivot point bushings/joints of several types and everything in between like a broken shock right down to just a unbalanced wheel (vary comon) i cant say it enough its always a great idea to get it up on a lift with the wheels and suspention unsprung and wheels free and get a good look at it but yeah id check those two things first alighnment and wheel balance good luck hope this helps
