I have had it happen and I had to have the lower ball joint , wheel hub replaced. You can take it to almost any shop and they can help you figure it out for almost free. I think pepboys can or TUNEX can. Some other cases may be a shot strut , bent control arm , or a messed up CV joint.
Another thing you can check is to see if the end links on your sway bar are broken.
Good luck.
