Aside from any fluid/pump issues, your caster adjustment on your alignment may be way off. If all else fails, get it to an alignment shop. Get it checked out.

You say "it's always been like that" even after a visit to the alignment shop? It's entirely possible the alignment shop set your caster wrong! Correct caster setting is even more important on vehicles with wide(r) front tires. Wider tires accentuate the "tramlining" effect if the caster is not right. It should be in the 6.5º - 7.5º range, depending on year, which you don't state.
