Welcome to Allpar. If you've had the wheel off, then you've made sure that the lug nuts are tight on that wheel. I would still check the other wheel lug nuts for tightness.
A worn tie rod end or ball joint can make noise when it isn't 'loaded' (i.e.- the play shows up when it 'floats').
Since it 'thumps' while you are driving straight, it sounds like it is related to the revolving wheel. Have the tires been rotated lately? Any 'lump' on the edge of the tread area that may be hitting the pavement going straight and less so when the car is cornering?
