Thumping noise when turning and making U-turns? Need help?

About a month ago I noticed that if I make a sharp 90 degree turn to the left or right, or when I make u-turns, something is thumping in the suspension or steering. As I make the turn really slow, all I here is thump, thump, thump, thump, thump. Anyone know what it might be? I went to a shop today and they inspected my cv joints and everything else and said everything looked fine. They said if it gets worse, bring it back. It kinda annoys me, so someone help.

"About a month ago I noticed that..."

Anyways, could be a lot of things. Is it only when the steering wheel is at full lock? Could be wide tires rubbing, you need spring isolators, etc. What have you changed recently?

I had my konis installed about 2 weeks ago, but the noise was there even before I got the new ones installed.
