Question front-end wobble

Have an 06 Forenza and notice a wobble/vibration when accelerating from a stop or coming to a stop. Was told the light car weight and fwd is cause of this--any ideas.

Hmmm, never heard of that one before, but then again, i have a reno, not a forenza.

What they're telling you is probably bs. Think about it, when your braking nearly all the weight is on the front so that shouldn't be the case.

But I'm not good with these problems, hopfully someone can be more specific. It could be a bent wheel, unbalanced wheel, messed up tire, may need a realignment of the suspension, ect...

Who told you this? The dealer, a friend....? To add to what Kinky said it could be bad engine mounts, or your frame is damage or weak in the front, or your front axle is messed up etc. I am just guessing. If you haven't take it to the dealer. If they are the ones that told you this, then they are bull shitting you and call up Suzuki headquarters and request a tech to come out and take a look, because you should not be having this problem.
