could be bushes, etc or even loose wheel nuts !!

if it feels unstable you need to get it checked out asap

jack the wheel off the ground and check for play/movement in the bushes.

Got to be the bushes. Some have been known to last only 30K before replacing them, common problem and not too expensive (personal experience).
