Maybe someone else can figure this out with the information provided but I need a little more to go on...

First, with the engine off and the car stationary, pull and push on the right front wheel looking for any play or looseness. Push/pull in a top to bottom motion and also try a front to rear motion and push in and pull out. Anything?

Second, put a jack under the right front and lift the wheel up.
1. Repeat #1 push/pulls on the wheel again; any difference or anything not firm and tight?
2. Do you hear anything out of the ordinary when you rotate the wheel by hand? Mild scuffing sound of the brake pads against the rotor is normal. Turn the wheel very slowly and try to feel the vibration of any grinding or binding.
3. Check all of the front right suspension components looking for wear. Push/pull on all of the suspension components to see if any of the bushings are loose and/or worn.

Let us know what you find.
