Default No lump on tire but it feels like it.

My buddy wanted me to post this. His 94 drive like it has a lump on the tire. A small one that gets quicker when the car goes faster. There is no lump on any tire. It sure feels like there is but there isnt ive triple checked. We have inspected underneath but i dont know $HIT about suspension. It comes from the front only. Feels like the right side but idk i can just be imagining things.

sounds like possible belt separation on the tire.

Move the tire and rim to the rear and see if the bump follows the tire to the rear. Also, look for feathering on the inside of the tire. While you have the car jacked up, and the wheel on the car, rotate the tire forward and backwards to see if you feel any rough spots in the wheel bearing. Can he feel it in the steering wheel or just in the ride?
