Bad tie rod ends will cause this problem too but you will tend to notice
it only after you round a turn or curve.
Not quite round wheels will do it too.
Try to isolate which side it is and try the spare wheel.
Bad trunnion bushings, weak shocks, and of course king pins and A arm
bushings need to be in decent shape too.
