Pop/clunk when turning left only

Hello, my car seems to be like a popping noise that comes from the passenger side. The clunk/pop occurs once when making U-turns or just turning left at a speed. I wonder what the issue could be? Any suggestions?
My car is at 118k miles

Probably a blown bushing on the front left or right compression (lower rearward control) arm. Check it out by using a flashlight at the body point and looking for cracks.

yea I’m going to probably change both compression arms. I feel a clunk on my side and then one when I hit a bump but it’s all from turning left

You need to have it looked at. It could be a lot of things: bad lower control arm bushings, bad compression rod bushing/ball joint, bad ball joint on the knuckle, failing end links, worn tie rods (inner or outer), worn shock/shock mounts etc.

Good luck chasing this sound it's one of the most frustrating issues to track down on our cars.
