It might be a worn wheel bearing. You can check this by jacking up the front of the car and spinning the wheels by hand and listening closely for grinding. Also worn bearings (really badly worn bearings) will give the wheel some play although it's tightly bolted to the car. Yank the wheel top toward you or push it into the center of the car to see if there's any looseness.

There are other causes such as your steering rack going out, a control arm crapping out on you (common problem on our cars) and the list goes on.

You've a great model 986 though. I should have saved up and bought an 03S for it is my favorite of all the 986's.
