So I took my front tire off today and noticed the front axle had a bit of a wobble whne it rolled on the floor. Is that why when I put the tire back on and turned the axle the tire moved as it was adjusting it? Is this why the bike feels unstable in turns?

Possible. It is not good. Replace it, they can be found cheap enough.
Common sense in not very common.

Hang out there, we may flame, but we don't hate.

My attitude is in serious need of readjustment, and I'm ok with that.
