This could be caused by anything from a bad tire, to a suspension or steering component on your front end. This could be a major safety issue and I would suggest getting a front end inspection. Many shops will do a free inspection so I would take advantage of that.

Here is a guide that will show the different things that can cause this issue:

This happens when driving slow. I have not noticed it when running 60-70 mph.

I would raise the car in the front and spin the wheels. it sounds like you have a tire that is coming apart. here is a guide to help raise the car. Check the rear tires as well.

I am waiting for Walmart to get their wheel balancer working. Then I will get them balanced and I will let you know what happens then.
