Hey guys when I first purchased the car while driving there was a noise from the rear passenger side tire. The noise was like pressure escaping(loud hissing) that you could hear the volume change as the tire rotated. I was only doing maybe 20mph and when I stopped and checked there were a few small droplets of a fluid all along the ceiling of the wheel well. The fluid seemed to just be water. If checked for any leaks but nothing seems to be peaking as its been a while since its occurred. The issue is that the tire where this happened is way off of allignment. It's wearing the outside edge much faster than the rest. The tire was already in bad shape and I was replacing it anyway but I'm looking for tires now and don't want to get new tires and alignment and just have the tire get ruined. I'm not too sure what if anything there is to look at. There are drums in the rear if that matters. Any suggestions on what to check would be appreciated! Thank you!
 
Check control arms of that tire location. What your looking for is,if the car was hit there at one time. Look to see if any arms look bent, welded, or if someone has been in there before. Also if its AWD check for play in the ball joints, you can do this but jacking up the wheel, one hand on 3 oclock the other on 9 oclock. if you have a wiggle side to side it will be your bearing. then wiggle it up an down, if theres play could also be bearing or ball joint or both.

There maybe fixaflat in the tire, also causing it to be out of balance.
