Default Please help. Steering issue

when I'm coming out of a turn my jeeps steering wheel wobbles back and forth a little bit. I have no idea why and also while I'm just sitting in traffic going less than 10 mph I can feel a little wobble. What could it be. Please help

Check your lug nuts. Do you have a flat spot on any of the tires? Tread missing?
