Possibly a bad CV joint?

Re: wobble while driving
Bad tires can cause this.

Re: wobble while driving
I have a horrible wobble in my car too, although it is an Aurora i thought i would chime in with what i already replaced.
I got new lower control arms, ball joints, inner tie rods and outer tie rod ends, sway bar end links and new tires on the front. Was told my CV axles were bad so that is my next step as well as wheel hub assemblies.
The wobble i describe is not a little vibration, its a dangerous type wobble if that makes sense. And no im not driving it at the moment. Just thought i would chime in incase your wobble is severe like mine, so maybe you could rule out the parts i listed.

Re: wobble while driving
Check the subframe mounting bolts. One of my ex's had a lesabre and those went bad. Holy hell talk about a scary car to drive. The whole subframe shifted under the car in turns and threw off steering angles and just all around made it very unpleasant to drive. Most of the repair parts can be sourced from a junkyard. Mounts are identical between lots of models.
