Well ... check the condition of your tires of course, but after that there's all kinds of things to consider, including alignment like Mike says.
Broken stablizer end link ... broken spring (common problem with Focus springs is to be broken right at the bottom in the cup area where the springs are seated - doesn't even affect the ride height that much, but your car is a little new for that I think) ... broken or severely worn shock ... worn bushings.
But I also think that any of the above would also create quite a bit of noise which would make it easier to diagnose.
