Question Wobbly Front Wheel

I noticed a bit of a wobble in the front end when I drive my 92 Cherokee. it gets worse the faster I go. I jacked it up and noticed that the front wheel wobbles from side to side a bit, so I removed the wheel, and the assembly itself wobbles even without the wheel. I can't see anything obviously loose or broken. does anybody have any suggestions?

Forgot to mention, The jeep was fine until I changed the tires. the tires are balanced, and seem fine other than being able to wobble when mounted. I've done nothing else to the jeep immediately before or since the wobble started.
