Default Vibration During Right Turns

Hello,

Relatively new 350z owner here (November of 2018). Car drove well when i got it. But back when I first got my car, i got new tires and balanced the wheels. Car drove even better after that, but I decided to get an alignment anyway.

Immediately after the alignment, the car started vibrating during right turns. I really regret not going back and complaining.

To elaborate on the "vibration" it occurs at any speed, during right turns, even if its just a slight right. Its definitely rotational, as it speeds up as wheel speed increases. Magnitude wise, It is worst at mid speeds 30-45 mph but you can feel it a little on the highway. Tbh I still haven't figured out where it is coming from. It feels kind like a slap or something more than a vibration if that makes any sense. As if it only happens once per wheel revolution. The issue has not gotten any worse.

Im wondering if anyone has an idea what it could be/fixes and why this would happen upon a potentially bad alignment etc. Ive heard 350zs are sensitive and prone to bad alignments. Pics of alignment specs are below. Any advise is appreciated.

Thanks,

check wheel bearings and lower control arm bushings. Both start off as a vibration and evolve into a slapping sound. (whop whop whop)
