Sounds like a front wheel bearing.

Re: Front end wobbles
The car's 20+ years old. You may/will need a front end rebuild at some point. Beyond guessing, diagnosis is difficult.

For TGO achieve sake-
It is so nice to see the original poster come back in and tell the conclusion of his/her dilemma.
You took advice, you went and checked things based on advise, and came back and reported what the culprit was and how you fixed it.
now anyone that searches 'wobble" can see this as a potential conclusion to there future puzzle.
thank you, I applaud you
