Default Thumping sound at low speeds while braking.

Hello all, I just bought a 2011 IS250 about three months ago, last week it started making a thumping sound while I was stuck in bumper to bumper traffic, when I turn all the way right it will make a thumping sound, and at low speeds while braking it makes a thumping sound. It appears to be from the front left drivers side wheel, took it to a shop and they said they found nothing. Anyone have any ideas??

Have you looked underneath? However that fact that the shop you took it to said all was good, does not make sense.

What shop did you take the car to?

I took it to a place called City Garage near where I live. Had great reviews and was running late on time and they were suppose to be good. I looked when the car was on the lift and I didn't notice anything out of the ordinary but I'm not too familiar with this car either

Does it do it at all when you're not braking?
