That's due to the toe-in, and it is designed to work that way. Now if you have really worn ball joints, it's going to be really noticeable. Jack up your front wheel, and put a crow bar under your tire and pry up and down, and feel for motion.

I just went through the same thing. I'm assuming that you have the IFS setup in the front. If so, check the axle pivot bushings and the bolts that hold the drop brackets the cross member under the engine. The bolts can loosen up or break and this will cause your problem (as well as a major safety concern).
