Default "Thud" while turning left only

I have a 93 GS300. Eibach lowering springs, with 245/45-17 wheels/tires. Ive got 10-12K and have never heard a peep. Heres what happens. I make a left hand turn, or go around a left hand bend, and as im begining to go straight again, I hear a thud coming from the area of the right wheel. At first I thought I ran something over, but I didnt. I looked underneath, and see nothing out of the ordinary, or loose. It does nothing on a right hand turn. Any Ideas. I would rather not go to a dealership. Just have my normal mech. take care of it.

What do you guys think?


Mike

I had similar problem on another car and it turned out to be the spring was not seated all the way on its seat. If Check the spring seats and/or strut seats.
