May have to balance the front wheels. may be a faulty tire if they're old.

Worn suspension parts. Have it checked out before it gets any worse.

Sounds like a ball joint. Not a hard job if you have the right tools. Good jack, Half inch breaker bar ratchet, a crows foot, and a little muscle. Good luck.

You have to take it to a mechanic because it may be some number of suspension related things:
If high miles I could suspect Lower arms
Ball joint
Shocks or struts
Idler arm
Tie rod Either the inner, the outer or both
Links
Bushing
alignment + any of the above
loose wheel lugs
Etc.
Good luck
