Issue front end 2003 r50 base

So I made a short road trip to Prescott from PHX....about 1.5 hour drive. By the time I got there I had this horrible sounding like whomping (?) sound when I turn left or even just correcting not ally at speed on the freeway . Sorta like a loud cupped tires. Tire are aord up properly, no bubble, low miles etc. so I rotated front and back to see if the sound moved with the tire or not. Well it didn't, it stayed front passenger.
Here's a short video where you can hear it. I know it's tearing up my tire or something.....maybe wheel bearings or axle bearing since the right side has long axle with a bearing?

Here lemme try and post video

Check wheel bearings and cv joints.
