Question about what I should do on my car repair?
First off, you didn't specify which wheel(s) felt wobbly - the steering wheel, or the vehicle in general when rolling. Let's cover the fundamentals -1) If the wobbliness you feel is in the steering wheel - you could have a problem in the steering rack, tie rod ends or something in the steering gearbox. Symptoms are excessive steering input to cause a change in direction. If this seems to be a problem - take it to your dealer or a reputable mechanic qualified in front end and steering work.
2) Does the wobbly feeling go away in either a right turn or left turn ( turning puts a side load on the wheel bearings and eliminates slack in the bearing) Right turn puts load on left front wheel bearing, left turn loads the right wheel bearing... If the feeling changes when doing this check - you now know what bearing may have a problem. Front wheel drive vehicles have sealed bearing assemblies, but they do go bad and develop excessive play.

4) Jack each wheel up independently and rotate the wheel/tire by hand. When looking straight on at the tire tread, fix on a single groove and see if it moves back and forth in your line of sight If it does - then you may have a bent wheel - caused by hitting something very hard - like a pothole. Also inspect the tire to make sure there are no bulges ( caused by tread separations from the tire body) While you have the wheel off the ground, grab the top and bottom of the wheel ( 12 o'clock and 6 o'clock positions) and see if you can shake the wheel or if there seems to be excessive motion there. If so, take it to your dealer or a reputable mechanic and have the cause investigated.

5) Locate the shock absorber on each wheel and shake it to check for a broken or loose shock absorber. Look for signs of leaking fluids.
This is by no means an exhaustive list of things that could be wrong, but it will help eliminate some causes and narrow down the cause of the problem.
