yea, its probably a problem with the tie rods or bearings/bushings. depending how it wobbles. if it is up and down, the it is the bearings, but f it wobbles side to side, then probably the tie rods or the tie rod ends.

one time i was riding my quad, in the snow and winter. i was ina field for a few minutes then went on the road and got going around 50ish, and my left front tire was wobblein like crazy. i stopped and it was filled with snow, the outside of the rim. i kicked it all out and went and it was fine. something so simple can cause some large temperary problems. bent rim or something loose is another thing that might be wrong. did u get into an accident before this wobbleing? if it was fine and u didnt crash or anything, its probably just something loose.

My guess would be bearings lift the front end up and wiggle the tire... if thats tight.. I guess it would be a tie rod... although if it were a bent tie rod I think you would remember hitting something haha... Good luck
