Check all front suspension and steering bolts/nuts are tight. check tyre pressures, check brake calipers are tight and have the rotors checked for warping. All of these can cause vibrations or looseness in the steering.

If it's still there after you check all of the above it could be "rack rattle" (steering rack noise). Not normally a problem unless you change tyres/rims to a lower profile or LCA bushes to Fulcrum type neoprene ones which tend to be firmer and make the "rattle" more obvious.
