More than likely it's just something loose underneath. Get underneath and do a check on all your components to make sure everything is tight.

One problem might be Steering Intermediate Shaft, especially if you can feel it in the steering wheel. Other problems might be suspension issues, engine issues, e. g. knocking or bucking, or issues with the front wheels or brakes.
