Wierd noises when entering driveway

Everytime I come into my driveway at an angle, I get this wierd noise coming from the front passenger side suspension. Almost like a big "thud" sound...I'm wondering if I might have a tie rod busted or something...what in the world could be making a noise like that?

Check for loose strut where it mounts to the spindle.

A visual inspection is probably in order.

I haven't had a minute to get under the car yet, but I will probably be able to this afternoon. I'm scared to look.
