Thumping sound when turning!!!

Hey all,
Had the front on jack stands today to do a oil change and once I was done I could hear a sound when turning to the right.

What happens is its hardly noticeable when driving striaght, whenever I turn right I can hear a thumping sound from the left front tire. I dont really notice any vibration on the stearing wheel. Once I turn to the left it goes 100% away. This is noticeable from 25-50mph. We are not talking slow parking lot turns. This is nornal 25-50 speed driving with SLIGHT turns, even lane changes. Did I throw something out of wack today?

Thanks,
Marc

My first Evo did that when the top strut bushings dried out, my current Evo is also starting to do the same thing. How many miles do you have on it?

Well the bushings shouldn't be dried out after 6500 miles... Thats really the only 'bump in the night' problem I've had with both cars.

<--- Out of Ideas, Good Luck!
