Clunk?

My front right end has a serious clunk in it when I turn left. But not when I turn right.

Any ideas what to check on this? Is there a common failure point on front ends in a 2003 cooper? Especially one with 150k miles?

I noticed it a little before, but its really happening since I switched to stock 15" rims from my 19" rims.

Do you also notice the clunk reverberating through the steering wheel?

Not really. I just feel it in the front end more than anywhere else. I'll double check when I drive home tonight. It rides great other than the left hand turn clunk.
