Could you add a little bit more information… mileage, engine, transmission type, 4WD or 2WD?

Could be something as simple as sway bar links and/or bushings

Could be something as serious as lower ball so fried, that they’re about to catastrophically let go

Do you have a decent jack, jack stands and a pretty long pry bar?

I’m thinking the tires aren’t pointing in the right direction under both conditions.

Try driving around (at slow speed) in a parking garage or an underground parking lot. If the tires are squealing during turns, it should be very apparent there. Might provide a clue anyway.

Are you driving in 4 wheel drive?
