Ball Joint, or wheel bearings could be the culprit. Or the camber adjustment got knocked out of whack somehow...

is this expensive to have fixed what kind of shop should i try taking this too, thanks for your quick response i almost sold the x but now im going to do a complete over haul thanks

Well if it's just the wheel bearing you could do it yourself, or any shop can of course do it. If it's the camber is just screwed up somehow or the ball joint I think that your best bet would be a shop with an alignment rack...i'm pretty sure that when you replace the ball joints you'll have to get an alignment and of course you'll need one if just need a camber adjustment. It shouldn't take all that long.

Good luck!
