It might be your tie rods. Jack up the car and take off the front tires. The tie rod ends are located on the back of the hub assembly and shock housing. The inner tie rods are connected directly to the outer ends. Look at the rubber bushings on the ends to see if they are worn. Pull on the inner rod and outer end. Now, there will be subtle movement as the rod end rotates on the ball, but should still be firm. If there is too much movement or you hear a clanging or grinding noise, then your inner tie rods are the culprit and need replaced.
