Default thumping noise on rear tire

guys i have buddy club coilover on my civic hatch but whenever i make a right turn into a shopping area or higher ground, it would make a thumping noise on the rear right wheel. It feels like there is no traction on the right rear wheel or something, anyone know this problem? (btw it does not happen on left turns)


EDIT: ACTUALLY it feels like the thumping sound comes from my REAR RIGHT Tire. I have a 2 finger gap all around so probably not rubing the wheel well, and my USDM Ej6 hatch have no Bushing for the rear so I dont think its the bushing. Also the Coilover is fairly new and front spring rate is 8k, rear is 6k. Its 15 way adjustable so the front i set to 9 and rear is 8.

HELP IS REALLY APPERCIATED. THANKS!

Do these have preload adjustment? Hehe maybe your right rear tire is lifting off the ground?
