If the wobble gets worse the faster you are going, then it does sound like the discs are warped :)

If it is NOT the discs then the other cause could be worn Suspension arm bushes, the rubber ones are replaceable but the ball joint is an integral part of the suspension arm.

The discs may look OK, but you'd really need to take the wheel off to do a spin test for disc wobble

As they are reasonably cheap, it's better to replace them anyway.
