Default "thumping" when turning

Whenever I turn Especially sharp turning there's an odd thumping from driver front tire. I'm think wheel bearings maybe? Anyone else ever had this issue? That or ujoints maybe?

Take a look at the back side of your hub. That pesky little seal will make all kinds of racket when it's going out, or completely out.
