Question Suspension Problem!!!!!

Ok, one day i was driving and my car started to make a thumping noise in the back right suspension. it felt exactly like a flat tire. i got out and no flat tire. and i kept driving after that and it kept popping. then a few days later it stopped. and now the right rear sits like a 3/4 inch higher than the left rear. Do you know what this could be? and the tire sticks out a tiny bit but enough to notice it. but it drives fine. Just woundering what the problem with it is. Any help would be very much appriciated.

Somethin' broke. Check the twist beam axle for impact damage. Check the Shock to see if it's froze up. Check the spring seat buckets.

Your spring may have jumped out of position?
