bearings
wheel bearings n swivel joint bearings, also check for play on the tie rod balljoints etc, you've got some movement there somewhere
Full of ideas but no time to do them!!

cheers guys,
alot of good suggesgions here i will check ball joints etc, also i dont have spiggot rings or anything like that, the spacers are 35mm and they had extended nuts that bolted onto the hub then the spacer on top, the wheel nuts are tapered also, think i may have a wobbly wheel issue then..... hmmmm will be a busy boy for the next wee while then!!!! the wobble does come and go with speed and if i hit the cats eyes then im struggling to hold her straight as she pulls..... sound bad dont it!!!! i only travel slow now cause of it!!
cheers again all!

Did you use HubCentric
Did you use HubCentric spacers and extended bolt connectors? Could be an imbalance with the spacers.
I have some 5MM spacers for the rear of my car but even anything over 3MM and I would suggest Hubcentric spacers. Currently have H&R ones, not cheap but quality counts.

There is no actual need for
There is no actual need for hubcentric wheel or spacers spigot rings, If you can get the wheel done up properly and central.
Hubcentric location / spigot rings are for ease of fitment only.
If you are experiencing wobble which comes and goes, then the wheel had not bolted on perfectly central. So best try again. Or just get a spigot ring made for the spacer to sit on.
Are you using nuts/bolts (don't know what fourtrak uses) with a 60 degree taper? They need to be.
If they have a flat seat then there is no hope of it pulling down central
