Whatever it is, you should go to a front end shop to get it looked at before you hurt yourself.

Sounds like your front end is out of alignment. There are three components to an alignment; toe-in, camber, and caster. Proper toe andcaster settings are what makes the front wheels track straight on their own. Casteralso makes the wheels straighten out again after a turn. Your settingscould just be out of whack, or you could also have badly worn tie-rod ends, ball joints, etc. Take it to an alignment shop.
