There is probably a poked suspension bush on a front arm.

Sounds like strut top bearings to me.
Also can happen if ball joints are stiff too.
Dose the steering wheel centre after you have been around a corner (let go of the wheel)?
But try tyre pressures, and even swapping tyres from to back first.

Start by checking that both front tyres have the same pressure, correct pressure is always a bonus too
