Best Answer

The steering joints and connections are worn and need replacing

Actually, the most likely problem is the tires. They may just need balancing. Sometimes the belts in the tires separate which causes a wobble. high/low spots in tires also causes a wobble. A bent rim can cause a wobble. Excessive negative caster will cause a wobble (alignment issue). Steering joints (inner and outer tie rods will not cause a wobble)

Suzuki jimny wheel wobble?

If you are referring to the steering wheel wobbling whilst driving along, then you probably have one or both of the front wheels out of balance. If the wheel wobbles at a certain speed then it may be a problem with the front locking wheel hubs or a bearing problem.
