Steering idler is easy. About an hour if you are as inept as me!  ::)

Cost about £20 on ebay.

Might not be this though. I would suggest waiting for someone with more experience to confirm diagnosis!  :y

Check you tyres for uneven ware.
Also check pressure's

I run my front tyre's at 2.1 bar

not expert by far, but could it be uneven brake application, when my discs were shot I had similar experience  :o :-/
