hi.
sounds like a couple faults to check out.
start with the brakes - pats and shoes. cheakc the pats - may worn up. cylinder may not going in and out proper - seast.
if all this fails, you may going to more advanced parts as bottom track rods, may worn out, or tracking rods not proper adjusted, you see this when you look at it. if recently changed the may never adjusted them. if they worn the rubber looks as it is broke around it.
easy to see.
and after this is all ok we going to garage jobs. such as driveshaft loose, worn out or bend. in worst cenario you find out the steering rack or box is faulty.
check all this and see what it is.
you may just need to replace 1 or bothe tyres as they worn on some places or need more air.

i take it you've had the simplest explanation done and had the wheels balanced?

If it has alloys then I can tell you the cause right now. Very common.
