bump feeling when turning.

Do you have "larger than stock" tires hitting the tie rod or wheel well liner?
Jump underneath, have a helper turn the wheel, and inspect the steering gear, pitman arm, radius arms (and bushings) and tie rods.
Check the shocks, too

It'd be easier with the tires off the ground, but make sure to properly support the vehicle. Jacks are for lifting-not holding-definitely don't get under a vehicle supported by only a jack!
Anyway, look around to make sure everything is clearing and nothing is binding.
Could be the steering gear too, I guess. I've heard they can develop problems in left turns and not right turns. Or vice-versa.
