have you bumped any kerbs lately? anyone else drive your car?

checked the wheel nuts (true!!)

it sounds definitely like they are not aligned properly,

take it to a tyre place and get a front wheel alignment...

good point, it is true, but this usually doesnt appear quickly, ie in last two weeks,

and it is MUCH more noticable when braking than just driving...
