If you're talking about it being a problem with your bike, you need to check the front tire. If you have don't have quick release, then you should make sure the bolts at the bottom of your fork that attach to the middle of your rim are nice and tight. If You do have quick release, make sure that it is nice and tight, and that it is actually put together properly and working.

If you are talking about your arms wiggling the handlebars when you go really fast, the best thing to do to prevent this would probably be to stand up. Keep both your pedals even with the ground, make sure you have a firm grip on the handlebars, put a little pressure on them, and make sure both arms are staying even. Sometimes if you are already wiggling a whole lot, the only thing to do is to break a little and then speed back up once you are balanced again.
Hope I could help
 
U should first try to loosen straighten then retighten the front axle bolts

If that doesnt work then bring it to the shop so they can tighten the bearings

When riding down hill really fast the front tire of a bike can begin to wiggle and ultimately cause one to fall and that sucks. So my question is if your front tire begins to wiggle what can you do to straighten it back out and save yourself from falling?
