Randy,
  the first thing I would check is the wheel bearings, especialy the LEFT
wheel.  That's the one loaded in a right hand turn.
  Another possibility is a caliper or rotor loose in it's mounting,
although, I would think this would show up straight, left or right.  
  None the less, It would behoove you to go through the front brakes with
a fine tooth comb.  Something is definitly amiss here, and brakes aint
something to let go.
