Can anyone advise please?

I am currently experiencing a problem with my Chimaera where it feels like I’m driving over a series of ridges in the ground when I either roll it into the garage or slowly drive to or away from a junction. It’s as if it occurs on each turn of the wheels. The strange thing is that it always rights itself when I take it out the following day. It also only happens intermittently (around twice a week). Grateful if anyone can offer an explanation for this?
They all do that sir!
Don't think it's anything to worry about mine does it every time I reverse out of my drive on a tight lock.
I think it’s something to do with the way steering geometry works.
The tires do not follow the same turning circle. Hence they scuff a little. (There’s technical for you, isenet!)

From which end do you notice this sensation, front or back wheels and does the problem exist only when moving the car in gear?
Maybe flat spots on the tyres if it stands in the garage for a long time although this is usually indicated by vibration at speed, wheel bearings or if from the rear perhaps something in the diff or drive shafts.
I would imagaine a buckled rim would be apparent all the time and show up as a vibration at speed so probably not this. Last thought (a silly one) are the wheel bolts tight? It has been known.
I am sure someone will know more but these are the areas I would check.
