Well I think I fixed this problem - and sure enough it was simply a very loose lower control arm bushing bolt on the passenger side. I could turn the rear bolt by hand. Tightened it up and I think I'm good to go.

Another plus, I also checked all my ball joints as recommended below, and confirmed they were good.
