When putting on the brakes beginning when my car is running 30mph or more the car starts to wobble until getting below 30mph

As your description of the symptom is rather vague it would be a good idea to ask an experienced person to take a drive prior to examining the underside and checking for wear, etc. in the steering, suspension and braking system.

The faults that could cause the car to wobble are many and various from a bad tyre mix through worn shock absorbers to semi-seized brake calipers.

The most common fault relating to brakes is caused by the bad fitting of brake rotors that after several thousand miles become unevenly worn so when applying the brake a judder can be felt; through the brake pedal, through the steering and sometimes through the seat (depending on which brake(s) and how many are affected). After 45 years repairing vehicles I have never known the fault to cause the vehicle to wobble.

Wobbly steering wheel , started yesterday, no big hits or potholes , or no bigger than normal. tires haves some tread but all 4 need to be replaced. is it an alignment issue or something more costly?

If it wobbles at higher speeds like 55-60 mph or so probabley just worn and out of balance tires,If it wobbles at like 25-30mph or so at a lower speed it probabley mean you have a tire seperating and it could blow out at anytime and you would definitely need new tires,at least more than likely the front two.

Car tires wobble at low speeds

Rim may have a dent or a weel balance weight may have fallen off.

Have the balance checked before your tires develop abnormal wear.

2004 Jeep wrangler steering wobble

Steering dampner (thing that looks like a shock absorber mounted sideways) can cause this. Most good alignment shops will check front end components for wear (shame on them if they didn't) but sometimes what seems like "acceptable play" if added to other components in similar condition can add up to a total of unacceptable...If dampner does not help, I'd start eliminating anything with any wear. A side-note to this is about caster angle...I never like factory camber settings...it does make steering easier but I prefer setting caster at least one full degree (+) past factory settings. This makes the vehicle more stable at higher speeds and often eliminates tendency of wheels to wobble. (won't go into full details, but it's why you can ride a bicycle with "no hands" if you turn the fork around and try that you will land on your ****!) If adjustable, it involves placing equal thickness shims on both sides, behind rear of front lower control arms. Changing this may alter toe in, so that should be re-set.

Steering wheel wobbles while driving

If it seems to happen more when rounding a curve than on the straight, it may be your CV joint. I'm not sure but I think you can replace the half shaft that connects the wheel to the engine. Otherwise, you may have to find a press to press out the old one. It's kinda like a U-joint on rear wheel drive cars. Or it could be the tire out of balance, bad tire, bad stabalizer bar. Gonna have to jack it up and get under it and start shaking stuff to find out what's loose. GOod luck and have fun....
