Has this just appeared like after having lowered the car or changed the rims but especially lowering because if it is it may be the tie rod ends push the wheels out when going over a bump (bump steer) but i wouldnt have the foggest on how to sort that

could be many things, you'll need to check it

could be
top mounts worn or loose
wheel bearings collapesd (normally would make a noise tho)
Drive shaft, worn or loose
Tracking may be out
un-even wear on your tyres
springs may not be seated properly
Wheels may be buckled?
Tyres may be agains rotation
wheels may need balenced

it really needs to be checked. I was running with bucked wheels and it shook the steering wheel at anything over 30mph, tried balencing and tracking many times only to finally find out 3 of the 4 were buckled:-o
