possible wheel bearing mate. Mine was the same. Jack the car up and see if you get any movement when you push and pull the wheels

Get the wheels in the air and check for play. You should find it easy then.

Hi, I had the same problem when I got my car. Turned out to be the ARB drop links, quite a cheap fix.

Also check the bottom ball joint pinch bolt, if it slackens it will give these symptoms.
