I assume that you mean the front-end is wobbling...if so, check the wheel bearings, spokes (if you have them).

have replaced front bearings, have all spokes in place,have reset the front play on the front axle and have replaced front and rear tires with good balance and still have wobbles at 65/75 mph.
