Sounds like maybe wheel bearing, and swivel (king pin) bearings will be shot.
Jack the front wheel up and give it a shake top to bottom.

Have a quick check of your master cylinder fluid level, i had similar symptoms and found my reservoir was nearly empty due to leak.

You are not driving it in 4wd on the road are you ... just checking as I notice you are quite new and might not realise that this is a sin!
