Question Right wheel thump when braking!!

Ok, TR, I have a dilemma! My car is driving me nuts with this thump it just developed!! To describe my car, I have a 91 DA with Eibach Pro-kit springs, KYB G-2 struts, and Skunk2 UCAs. Other than that, it has the stock suspension. The car, around the right wheel well makes a loud thumping noise when the car initially accelerates and just before I come to a stop. And if I press the brake pedal real fast and hard while coasting, the tump will appear as long as I am rolling and pressing the brake pedal quick and hard; I can make it thump on demand. Also, the car wants to wonder while driving down the road, as in it follows the lines in the road pretty badly. I just got the thing aligned and I would have more than likely found the problem today but it was pouring down rain all day so I had no chance to check it out.

Basically I am trying to find someone who has seen this sort of problem in the past and find out what they did to correct it.

Again, the noise is definitely coming from the right front wheel well and is felt pretty prominantly through the floor board, only when braking hard and quickly. If you all have any suggestions to what my problem may be, shoot them my way and thanks in advance. Oh, have I meantioned that the thump is driving me nutts??!!
