Help...noise from driver side wheel

[95Blue240sx]

im getting a noise from the driver side wheel. i only here the noise when i make a mildly hard right turn. kinda sounds like whomp whomp whomp. i thought it might of been the rear axle but im almost 100% sure its from the front driver side. you guys got any idea? my friend told me it could be a flat spot on the tire, or its a wheel bearing. before going to get new bearings i want to be sure. what do you guys think?? thanks

Check your TC rod bushings. If they're oozing, time to replace them.

but how would that make a "dug dug dug" sound when making a right turn? the faster i make the turn the fast the noise goes. its consistant.

-I think- because your wheel is not on stable. Another possibility of course is wheel bearings or having loose wheels in general. The TC rods are just common fail points at around 100k miles on our cars.

Can't hurt to check... Just turn the wheel all the way right after you park and check the right one... then repeat for the left.

well that does make sense. thanks for your reply. hopefully its that and ill just get some pillow mount ones, instead of buy new wheel bearings which are 148.84 at the dealer =\
