Must be a suspension problem...

Just got through doing a bunch of unrelated work on my girlfriend's car, and taking it for a 'spirited' test drive just now I noticed a few things that I'd never noticed before, and I think they're all related:
First, I noticed some abnormal clunking coming from the front wheels (the right, I think) pulling out of the alley.
Second, I got on the highway on a clockwise clover leaf (sweeping right turn), and as I was on the gas pretty good, I noticed some vibration in the front wheels. Later I tried turning the other way (left) while on the gas, and it felt normal.
Last, while I was on the highway, if I was accelerating the car pulled to the right. On overrun (engine braking), the car distinctly pulled to the left.
I suspect there's a bad suspension bushing somewhere, but if anyone's seen something like this and can narrow it down for me that would be great.
Thanks!
