Brake calliper binding maybe?

Strip, free up, and use copper slip or the likes on moving calliper parts.

Just an idea Smile

Check suspension bushes front and rear, you need to jack it up, put blocks or axle stands under the lifted wheel(s) and pull/push, lever the wheel and links to see if you can find any movement, if you can move anything then the bushes need replaceing. Also check for a worn front wheel bearing.
