when you say it swings you mean rather fast moving up and down.
Not just the normal swing from the going up and down hills.
If the first you have a pinched wire or a loose connection some place
Your sending unit works on resistance so if this changes the needle will move.
Trouble Shooting electrical problems the Toyota electrical manual is a great help.

If you have never seen a sending unit it has a wound copper section that a arm moves up and down depending on the level of fuel in the tank.
As the resistance changes the needle moves.
I am thinking more electrical then mechanical because more then likely if there was a problem with the wiper it might not work at all.
Last I looked into a new sending unit with new hardware it was about $120.00
