Don't take this the wrong way but could it be a nail or something else in the tire?

Sorry I can't help more but here is the service manual: Nicoclub.com/FSM

CV joint.

If you go to a salvage yard to get a replacement half-shaft make sure to get the one from the matching side of the car. The half-shafts on the Z are not equal in length so they need to be used on the correct side.

And the direct link to the FSM's is located here.
