Thumping from front

Hello. I get this weird thumping (3-4 times) sound when I turn right from a stop and the car is cold. I don't know what it is. I put it on a lift and moved the wheel right to left, up and down and it was sturdy. So I don't believe it is the bearing (if that is what that test checks). I have searched and did not find anything. I want to find out if this is serious or not. Not sure it is loud enough for a video.

Could be a few different things.

Tie Rod Ends, Lower Control Arm Bushings, CV joints, ex. ex.

The CV axles were replaced by the owner before me 3 years ago. Is there anyway to pinpoint it easily?
