That sounds like a pretty serious alignment issue.

It could be a couple of things, and the only way to really troubleshoot it is to jack up the front, and figure out which part is loose/worn.

By far the easiest way to figure out what it is, is to take it to your local reputable shop and tell them that you want a four wheel alignment. After 5-10 minutes the mechanic will tell you that he can't align your car until he does a couple hundered dollars of repairs.

Whatever he says needs to be fixed probably does need to be fixed.

Good Luck
