sounds like wheel/tire/balance problems also sounds like your steering rack is loose or has slack in it.

I would suggest a rotate and balnce (high speed) and then a "5 wheel alignment"....all 4 wheels and a steering wheel centering. This should fix it...if not let me know

^^What he said....If you dont know what the steering rack is, more than likely you wont have proper equipment to align it correctly. Take it to a shop and tell them what you want done . It does sound an awful lot like something in the rack and pinion is loose...tie rods maybe bad ??

if tie rods were out of adjustment then the steering would be premenantly off.....could be damaged though...ball joints bad and such.
