I think it's bearing time!

Not sure though. I'm hearing what sounds like a tack in my tire. It clicks with every wheel rotation. Does it with or without applying brakes, or regardless of what direction the steering wheel is turned. What do you think?

Check for nails.

Sounds like wheel bearing gone bad to me. I had the same symptom/noise and it was shot front left wheel bearings. Don't drive like that too long if that's the case. It can damage wheel hub and will cost more than just $20 bearing.

these are sealed bearing hub units. the bearings themselves are not serviceable. you have to do the entire hub.

If your lucky only a rock then maybe a screw or nail. Last a bearing and that would suck.

yup i second what red says i had the same prob about like 2 months ago it was the bearings but you have to replace the entire hub ! its gay but solves the prob !

How much did it cost you to replace the entire hub?

I got my new hubs like 6 months ago at NAPA for only like $120 a piece, couldv spent more on em but i trust the parts from napa so im not too worried about it

If the hubs/bearings are going, would you expect to hear more noise depending on which way you turned? I.E. if you heard more noise turning to the left, then the right front hub is the culprit?

Dropmech...put the front up and push/pull the wheel to see if there's any play?
