Question Vibration only when turning right

Definately in the rear, driver-side. while driving straight or making left turns, the noise is not there. any kind of right turns (slight or full) noise. recently replaced rear struts and springs (what a difference) and the diff mount. no front sway bar...

removed and checked lateral links

ball joints and arm seem great. no bends or tears in boots.

with the lateral links and struts removed, i grabbed the rotor and checked for play laterally (pushing and pulling on the rotor). there little play on the passenger side, but there was noticabley much more play in the drivers side.

leaving me to believe either the main control arm bushing is destroyed or the little camber link is worn.

what'd yall think?

to clarify, its no thud or clunk, sounds more like tire rub...(maybe the noise or the sides of the contact patch)
