Best way to find out, fit a new cable first being cheapest and easiest (I believe yours could be a two piece item) and if it still wobbles then you know its your bearings, but 9 times out of ten, its the cable.

beofre you owned it?
also put a bit of oil in the cable before you renew it, even cheaper than a new cable

I removed the speedo cable from my bird's mk6 escort a few months back when i broke it for spares, it was a BASTARD to get out, never mind getting it back in again!
