Jack the front wheels up and pull them about to check for play in bearings,bushes, control arms.

does it do it at low speed or higher speed gear changing? and does it do it as you go down through the box ?

Are you alloys balanced properly?
check tracking

Have you checked for play as I suggested? You have to start somewhere.

ive had this problem before but it only pulled to the near side and it was my steering rack had exccessive wear on one side so had to have a new steering rack and tracking

cost around 30 for a new steering rack that i fitted myself but £23.50 for tracking at local garage robbing dogs lol :P
but i surpose it could b bushes or bearings but id say best bet is ur steering rack
