Check your wheel bearing, ball joints , trackbar, bushings and TRE's. You may not be able to SEE any thing wrong. Best way to check the joints is by laying under the Jeep and having someone turn the wheel back and forth while you watch all the joints for improper moverment, usually side to side and up and down movements. If it looks loose it bad.

by the sounds of it, it's probably your wheel bearing/hub unit.
jack the front up and grab the wheel at 9 and 3. if it wiggles, it's your bearing. you can also grab it at 6 and 12. if it moves easily, replace your unit bearing.
