Get your tires balanced and rotated. If that doesn't fix the problem then you need to have someone go over the front suspension and check for worn or loose parts.

You pkrobably have a tire out of balance or the tie rods needs to be replaced.
bad tire or tires.
better check the tires and get them balanced.
Bad wheel or tires?
Worn out steering gear?
Bent rear axle shaft.. no matter how slight?
Does this help any?
something folks don’t think about is this, look at the sidewall of your tires, find what the max cold pressure is for that tire, then put the max air pressure in it. most folks will argue this with me but i have a 99 dodge quad cab 4×4 with E range tires(10 ply) and the tire store manager only put in 35-37psi in my tires when i bought them new, i got 5 miles away and turned around and brought it back cause it felt and acted like i was driving on marbles. I let him drive it and he couldn’t figure it out, kept my truck in there for 3 hrs till an old time truck driver came in and suggested the same as i said above, of course the manager said that couldn’t work, and would burn out the centers of my tires, but i had it done anyway and it fixed it.(my max is 80psi) truck drives perfect now, Just because the work at a tire store doesnt mean they know what they are doing. this is simple and cheap enough to give a try anyway.
Your “wobble” could be caused by many things. Front suspension alignment / wheel balancing / bent wheels / abnormal wear on steering components (tie rod ends, various linkages, etc.) Any of these problems would go unnoticed at lower speeds, but be very noticeable at freeway / highway speeds. The person who sold you this vehicle knew this, which is why it was sold “as is”.
