Grease your ball joints. I had a similar problem that the dealer "couldn't reproduce" but when I checked the ball joints, they were dry.

Check balljoints as Lilyellow said, also check all steering linkage, check everything that moves when you turn the wheel. You'll be looking for excess play...Its really hard to say what it could be. But for sure check balljoints, and all steering components

does it happen when you have the wheel turned and are driving or just turning the steering wheel

it happened to me once and it was the ball joints so when i putmy spindles i greased the f**k out of thems
It could also be due to a lack of alignment shims. This is the problem on my truck. I have no idea how, but i looked, and where they should be, there is nothing. Hmmmmm
