Default NEED HELP! Car makes a constant clunk-thud around any right corner, or going strait>>

when driving the car now clunks to the speed of the wheel when going right or strait. The sound goes away when i turn left... I don't think it's the tire rubbing on the fender well. And i dont think it's a CV joint, due to the only right characteristic. Any ideas??

Default I had a clunking sound a while back...

only at slower speeds (think parking lot) and only going straight or turning 1 direction. Turned out that the lugs on 1 wheel were not as snug as they should have been.
