HELP! Found 1 wheel sitting in the wheel well after 3 days of no driving
I just realized this is the second time this happened, I remember when I first left the car sitting for a few days (2 weeks ago) I got into it and noticed a big bump-up when I put it in drive, like I drove over something big.
This time, I saw the rear driver-side was sitting a bit low when I walked to the car, then saw the rear passenger-side was IN THE WHEEL WELL!! And the Passenger front was also low.
I started the car, same results, then put it in park, and again, the big BUMP feeling like I drove over one, and back to normal.
This is an ABC Car. What do you guys think this could be, and should I be worried that I'm sitting on a ticking time bomb? Also, expenses to fix?

I totally forgot to check for leaking Fluid, but I don't think there was....
How long do these things normally hold up before it becomes undriveable?
