  Check this list off:
      Kingpin bearings tight.
      felt  and Knuckles seals not leaking
      Tie rod ends tight
       U-bolts tight
      Spring bushings have no excessive wear
      Check steering gear box play
       Are gear box mounting bolts tight
      Are leaf springs in negative arch
       If spoa, check for correct pinion angle.
       if you have wheel spacers, check if they are tight
       Are the wheels balanced correctly
       Is it properly aligned
       And lastly, is the axle housing bent

A simple first check--are your tires out of round?  That is a common problem, even with big name tires.

Does the wobble go away at 60?
