Jack one of the front wheels into the air and grab ahold of the tire. Try and shake it side to side and up and down. If there is any side to side play or if wiggling the tire while gripping it from the top and bottom shows any play, your ball joints are wearing out. A little play doesn't necessarily mean they are fried and in need of immediate replacement but it does mean they are on their way out and you had probably start ordering parts.
