Default after long trips

if im on the highway for more than 20 minutes my suspension goes WHACK... literally..

coming to a stop it feels like something is rubbing or sticking to the tires. turning it gets worse.. alot worse.

my front tires rub but even going straight it will make the sound. i drive to work on the highway but its only like a 5minute trip and it makes NO SOUND at all.

i dont get it.. something getting too hot and flexing/bending? suspension loading/unloading?

need some guru's to figure this one out

i dunno man, thats odd... maybe your shyts just gettin old and worn out... still odd to me... i dont have anyprobs like that, other then a rough ride, but what can i expect... and also, i drive an hour to class and an hour back, half hour to and from work, halfhour/45 min to town/friends houses... and i dont even have that prob.<not being a dick, just sayin, its not normal... but yea if i had to GUESS ill say maybe something is either just worn out or something might be loose<causing it to touch the tires and make the rubbing sound.
