@ben-franklin The bike has a stock steering dampening mechanism possibly I need a better one or it is defective.  The set up measurements are 

60 inch track width   -   152.4 cm

lean out 3 degrees   -    3%

toe in 1/8 inch   -   3.17 mm

sidecar wheel lead is roughly 10 inches.     -   250mm

Hi, thank you for your return; yes, the damper may have an issue, wobble would be normal in fact if you hadn't at the speed you mention.

Just one comment: 3 mm toe in, will make the setup very responsive, nervous, not a bad thing but will require all your attention.
