Need some advice or has anyone encountered this problem. Started with changing a flat. I jacked the car the proper way and removed the left rear tire. Due to the fact i had to drive 25 miles to get the tire fixed I left the car up on jack stands over night with the right tire still on. the next day while I was reinstalling the left repaired wheel and tire I heard an extremely loud pop from the right side of the car rear area. After insallation of the left tire I went under and looked at all the suspension parts and even the hangers for the exhaust system and noted nothing. The next day as I was driving the car I heard a groaning binding noise coming from the right rear when I made a slow left tight turn. I made several slow turns to the left and it was noticble only when I turned left and not right. This was the side I had left the rear wheel on and suspended on overnight. I agan jacked it up and inspected underneath the car and could see nothin wrong with any bushing or nothing rubbing anywhere. I went out and did a couple of short burnouts to get the *** end seated down and after the noise seemed to get much quieter and had less noise. Could I have bound the right side suspension by leaving the right wheel and tire suspended with all the dead weight overnight. Anyone experience this or any ideas
as to what could have happened???

I never experienced that with my car, and I've had it on stands for days. Maybe lube the sway bar bushings? Some have also seen the sway bars rust through at the bushings.
