My left front wheel wobbles pretty bad when I get it up to speed(I hit something). I have sent it to the shop, but they didn't think anything was wrong. It isn't the wheel, I have had several on to test that. What could it be, how can I fix it? Help, it is annoying! Thanks

Bearings or tie rod ends could be bad, mine did it and it was the tie rod ends.

In all seriousness, I would say your shop had much to learn about diagnosing a problem. Like many dealer shops, they depend on you to diagnose a problem before bringing the machine to them & sticking their nose in it. And this at $55 per hour?
One thought, if you have added any tire sealant recently & failed to run the tire sufficiently to disperse the stuff, it may have settled in one spot causing an out-of -round tire. Also the tire may have suffered a ply separation. If you can, try the wheel & tire on another machine & test.

I did try other tires and rims, that didn't help. Thanks for the help. Later

I had the same problem with a Titan tire on my new polaris. It had a bulge on the outside of the tire and only shook at high speeds. You may have damaged the cords. Try jacking it up and place a block of wood next to the tire and give it a spin. Do the same to the front of the tire and see if the gap changes when you spin it.

Then the actual spindle(where hub attaches) must be warped slightly.
