well if the tires are properly inflated and wheels are tight, check for any loose suspension parts by jacking up the front end and place your hands one at 12 o clock and the other at 6 o clock and try to move the tire in and out, if no play place hands at 3 o clock and 9 o clock and try to move tire in and out, repeat on other side of car, if you found no play thats good, if you did then you have a bad balljoint or tie rod end. replace any worn parts and get the front end aligned, if you have excessive positive or negative toe it can cause the car to drive very erratic. hope this helps.
