Weird Vibration making right turns...
when i am driving over 60mph in turns, which happen alot- i get this sound - a faint thud thud thud... almost like the wheel were to touch the fender... for example...
My car is not dropped and the suspension is all stock... During the first snow fall, my car drifted and tapped the sidewalk sidewall... on the driver side front... about 10mph... it just scratched the rim...
I think it might be a bushing in the control arm or something... I am going to have to take it to mitsubishi and have them examine it, but i just wanted to hear some input from you guys... Is this something that AWD does =- but i only hear it making right hand turns

Na, they don't just do that...I bet your rim is bent or your tire is jacked. Seen some on Ebay pretty cheap, or you could put the spare on and have yours straightened.

I am going to take a closer look at the tire and rim, this weekend.... It really only happens when i am giving her some throttle, and making a turn to the right, not the left... I thought it was due to the wack into the sidewalk side wall... But i thought the rim and tire just took the shock...

Very possible that you wrecked a control arm bushing on that "drifting" attempt. On compression on hard right turns, metal may be hitting metal, there's your noise.
But the only way to find out is to get under there and take a look for yourself.

If it wasn't balanced, it'd vibrate constantly, and you'd feel it through the steering column as well as the seat. Trust me on this one.
In addition to the control arm, I would check the two CV joints between the front diff and the hub. The force may have bent one of the knuckles, and when the joint isn't aligned (which it wouldn't be when turning), the joint is 'popping'.
