You may hear a thumping noise coming from your vehicle. The inner core of your rear right wheel was separating from the outer rim due to three breaks at the welds, which could have caused the wheel to fail, especially during high-speed turns. This problem may not be visible when the vehicle is on a lift. Fixing this will likely require wheel replacement or professional welding repair to reattach the wheel core to the rim.
