Ok I have a s14 with an unsual problem of the front passenger side tire having a bubble in the tread section. I had 2 bubbles so far. I did not hit any potholes. I also notice when I reverse I hear a popping noise when I turn , coming from the front passenger side. I had an alignment a while back due to an accident on the driver side but everything is squared out already with that problem.

I'm guessing it's a blown strut/shock. Thanks

Could be any number of places that the noise is coming from.
Ball joint, spring seating/unseating, worn out bushings, etc...

What do you think of the bubble in the tire though?

I've never had a tire bubble before So, I'm not so sure what could have caused it.

Thanks for your input on the poppoing noise though.

popping, try the tension rod
bubble, try another set of tires
