Default Loud wobbling/thumping noise

Hi guys. I've had a problem come up where if I take a sharp right turn my I get the aforementioned noise from what seems to be the right rear end. As the speeds and angle increase so does the noise. It occurs even if the car isnt in gear. Ill try to capture the noise on video later. Just wanted to see what you Le thoughts were.

Make sure lug nuts are tight and check tire pressure!

CV or wheel bearing I would guess. Try getting it up in the air and putting it in 6th to see if you can locate the sound. Also, if you have centering rings and the wheels were off recently make sure you don't have two on that right rear.
