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

Possibly a wheel bearing.

Eaither way, I feel a shop is going to be getting paid.

Makes sound all the time. Is it safe to drive for a day or two. What kind of bill am I in for (ball park) for a wheel bearing.

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.
