start with something simple try swapping wheels front to back  you can have a buckled wheel or a bad tyre that will still balance, its the easy home try before looking at steering box, bearings etc etc

As Piper says, then check wheel bearings, swivel bearings, track rod ends etc.

wheel bearings - front hubs on Disco II's are favourite for going regularly!  Can't (easliy) do the bearings so you have to fit an entire hub. . .

thanks guys will do my best was even told to try the rubber ring on the drive saft is it possible,  im thinking along those lines because if i accelorate hard up to 70+ it does not wobble but if i accelorate slow and steady it does.
