Check tire pressures and check that rim is balanced. My friends wheel weight fell off and this stuff started to happen.

did you do any recent suspension stuff? But I would suggest an alignment but make sure everything in the steering is tight. SOunds like it could be a caster issue with the alignment.

check your tire pressure and also check your tie rods im pretty sure your tie rods are bad so after you get new ones i would also get an alignment
