Ok, so to make a long story short i was driving my 2000 lude and my tire went flat i was doing 70 if its gonna make a difference. i jacked up the car from the front because its the only place my jack would fit. So today i went out and watched my brother drive and the right hand side wheel actually moves towards the front and towards the back and i have no idea what it.
Any help would be appreciated. Post pictures of my lude soon.

Yeah were not wizards man..

You need to ask a real question, not just 'do you think i messed something up'.

i dont really understand what its doin.

the wheel might be bent. the wheel might be unbalanced ( lost the balance).

your axle might be shot. Your shocks, struts etc.

When you got the flat you drove at high speed for a while. So who knows? you messed something up there.

My best guess is the wheel isbent and unbalanced.

^Sounds like a bunch of pointless guessing from reading a post that isn't giving enough info. Sounds like the OP is saying that the caster angle changes while driving but he needs to be more specific.

thanks dan for trying i know its kind of hard to explain whats been happening.
so when i drive forward my wheel moves into my frame and starts rubbing on it it also does the same thing if im braking and if i drive in reverse my tire moves forward and rubs on my fender. its not a left to right its back to front the whole tire shifts into the frame when i drive and its only happening on the right hand side

Honestly just get the tire repaired and see if it goes away..

too much movement to be just the wheel? did you get under and check all the bushings? check for loose/missing or snapped bolts? which wheel is it?
