Can you rewrite the symptoms with different words? Does the steering wheel shift position when this happens? Does the car pull one way if you let go of the steering wheel? How does the tire wear look?

I would suspect a bad CV joint but description is rather vague so it could possibly be due to worn control arm ball joints.
