    Could be a broken sway bar/anti roll bar link on that side or some other suspension component. You need to get it looked at as what ever it is could be a safety issue. Turn the wheel outward, switch off the engine and apply the handbrake look to see if you can see anything obviously damaged or worn, start the engine and lock the wheel out to the other side and look again for anything obvious. Love to hear what you find wrong.
