i need help really badly. my car has been squeakin really bad so i was going to replace the ball joint this weekend because that is the first chancce i have to do it. when i was comin home from school today i noticed my passenger tire(same side as the ball joint) was completely f*cked up. there is about a 4 inch rip in the tire on the top near the outside. and i noticed a little hump on the inside of the top too. my alignment sucks too but i thought is was just because of the ball joint. the tire still has a decent amount of tread left on it i would say about 30% at least. i really need help quick. any comments are appreciated. i really have no clue what goin on with my car. thanks in advance
