Maybe you can understand 'a motion might be *described* as nutation'. I still don't see it as a cause of a wheel wobble or as the cause of a motion (F=ma).
The OP may have been referring to mechanical or even gyroscopic precession that MIGHT cause a wheel to wobble. Or to coriolis forces but they're vanishingly small on the scale of a bike wheel or a commode bowl.

Precession, mechanical?
A motion might be characterized as 'nutation' but I don't recall it as a cause of motion.
