I have chased that problem as well! Twice I had that issue, and each time I went crazy looking for something to blame. Last time I replaced most of the steering trying to fix it. Both times were with used tires, and both times it end d up being a bad tire (in my defense it was years between the two issues and I admittedly forgot to check tires)! Rotated them and the problem was fixed or moved to the corresponding tire location.

It’s easy to dismiss the simplest solutions looking for a bigger one (I have been there).
