Default do galaxies wobble?

When talking about the rotation of spiral galaxies, it almost always
seems to mean rotating in a plane. I was wondering if it was possible
that the galaxy also precesses much like a spinning top. Perhaps this
would occur when the galaxy was young. Has this ever been observed?
Could it?

Thanks,

Ted
