Default bumping from one wheel

the back right wheel on my car makes that part of the car go up and down, like the tire is a different size than the rest, but by quite a bit. It is very noticeable at around 80mph, and below 15mph. I was thinking that I may have bent the cv axle somehow, any other thoughts? I'm going to take a look at it tommorow after it get outta the body shop.

edit: the bumping is in an "up-down" fashion from that wheels location.

Default I had the same problem

I had exactly the same symptoms. Took it to a tire shop and they said everything was fine.

Turned out that the inside lip on the rim was bent.

rim is probably bent from being dropped from a lift sometime in its life
