Get the front-right tire in the air, grab it tightly and try to rock it left/right and up/down.

If there is play in it, there's a chance your wheel hub is starting to go bad.

Also check all around for a little flung grease from the axles, one of those could be going bad too.

It's possible you may have a wheel hub (bearing) failing, but I would check tire pressure and alignment first.

In addition to the above, check the power steering fluid.
