Default Steering/Suspension issues

Hey guys i hope you can help point me in the right direction with this one.

87 mustang hatchback is making noise when i turn left, but it only does it when im moving. also its more prominent when the ground level changes (dip, manhole, rise/bump) while turning. while i dont feel it in the steering, i can almost feel it on the car.

the sound is to the right of the center of the car i believe.

Ne idea what this could be? sway bar? strut tower loose? bushing? steering gear? i just replaced the tie rod ends and main ball bearings....

thanks

Check all your suspension parts. Had the same noise, turned out to be a broken sway bar link

Maybe 20PSI, new computer, new 3" VAM, and some porting will make it faster
