Wierd thumping noise on right turns

I get a wierd thumping noise from one of the wheels on the left side. I notice it only when I take a 90 degree right turn. It's got new axles and ball joints on the car, but I know that the left side drive shock is leaking oil, but not bouncy at all. And I dont' know whether it's coming from the rear or front. Hard to tell. What could it be?

Check your exhaust system to see if all the hangars are intact. Sometimes if the hangers break, the exhaust system will knock against the undercarriage in spirited driving. Had this problem on my car last year.

wierd thumping noise

my exhaust is fine....all hangers are there, plus it's on the right side of the car...and the sound is out of the left side...I think I've pinpointed it down to the drivers' side front wheel area...but don't know where..

tighten your lugs! that sounds like your wheel is loose! thats exactly what mine did, i only had one lug left. (don't let your friends put your wheels back on!)
