It could be the upper or lower ball joint ready to fail. If I am correct, it would be unsafe to drive. But before you call a tow truck, ask a knowledgeable guy to take a look as it might only be a soft tire. Incidentally, the way an inspection mechanic tests that, he will jack up that wheel off the ground and lift up under the tire with a pry bar feeling for a "clunk" or any free play in the suspension. If it "clunks" a lot, don't drive it.
