Default annoying problem

well tonight after studying at UTSA my friends and i went to freebirds to go eat. once we left i made a left hand U turn on huebner rd which i turn the steering all the way to the left. while i was making the u turn i heard a constant thump thump thump thump as i was in the U turn (which you can feel the thump in the floor board). once my steering wheel was straight it wasnt doing it anymore. so i pulled over and looked under my car and i didnt see anything. i got back into the car and i tried it making a right hand u turn and it didnt do it then when i tried making a left hand u turn it did it again. the only thing i can think about is maybe wheel bearing or ball joints? or maybe my wheels are hitting the A arms. i have the 17x9 TRMotorsport C3 with et 63. i am going to change my two front wheels tomorrow to see if its the wheels or something else.

what do you guys think?

If it was the wheels I think it would do it going right as well as left.

It sounds like half your LSD is broke....
If you are out of gear or if you have your foot in the clutch with this type of issue happing then, it maybe an LSD gone bad.
The LSD will make some noise that you feel and here when their broke. You will here/feel this when in low speed turns if the car is not engaged in gear. It is a thump or clunking feeling as you go through the turn.

I say dif also, I have heard it before.

I have also learned the dif will function fine for a long time in this condition, with no ill effect other than that clunk.
