Have a look at rear wheel alignment - it can cause wobble if not straight.

Rear wheel bearings ?

tyre pressures ? ( both ends )

Try re-aligning the front forks ( undo the left hand axle pinch bolts - bounce front forks up and down a few times - re-tighten pinch bolts.)

What have you done recently to the bike ( was the bike ok before you did it ? )
