If your turning right your placing more weight on the passengers side wheel , and traveling faster make your car lighter not heavier
if it was my car i would check my wheel bearrings
you can do this if you jack up one or both wheels high enough so you can get your hand under the wheel and get a good firm hold on the wheel at the top and bottom and push in with your top hand and pull out with your bottom hand creating a rocking motion , you can also do this from side to side takes a bit of strenght , if there is any play at all you have a bad wheel bearring , if not the bearrings it your brakes, but i would think you would hear metal to metal when you apply your brakes
if your hearing metal to metal I would do it very soon or have it done it could be dangerous
you could loose a wheel and you seem to travel at a high rate of speed !
what roads do you travel , I would like to avoid those roads (hehehe)
