You need suspension parts, not necessarily an alignment.

That's why you get the front end looked at by a professional.

If I had to make a GUESS (and GUESS is all it is!!), I'd say the bushings on the upper control arm. However, that may not be it (ball joints? LCA bushings? Wheel bearings? There's a LOT that can cause those symptoms!) and so you really need someone who knows what they're doing look at that suspension for you.
