Wheel wobble after hitting a pothole

I have kind of a minor wobble in my steering, this happens at any speed slow or fast. It is a small vibration and steering wheel moves a small amount (2-5cm) from left to right or right to left.

This has appeared suddenly around the time I hit recently hit a nasty pot-hole in the road on a bend. Any ideas?
