Default Thumping sound when turning left

My 98 LS400 is making a thumping sound from i think the front right wheel when i make a turn to the left at 30-40 mph. There is no thumping when turning right and very little when straight. New tires were put on today, and the thumping is still there. any ideas?

go and look go for play, sounds like it could be anything from UCA Ball joint or bushings, LBJs, wheel bearings, TREs, LCA bushings, etc....
