Default clicking grinding comming from wheel

Took my 98 TA for a drive and I started to hear a cliking or grinding coming from one of the wheels (still not shore which one, I think its the front passenger side). Looked at the tires did not see any rubbing or object in the tire. Before I take it to a mechanic wanted to see if any one had such a problem.

thanks
Roman

Depends on the shop to tell you what is really wrong with it or "what's really wrong with it".


Shops are absolute crap. I would break out my tools in a Waly World parking lot before I would take my car into a shop.

Just my opinion.
