Default Repetitious Clicking Noise When Rolling

94 accord.. 98k.. While im rolling.. (have to be at least going 10+mph)... I hear a clicking noise coming from the front passenger wheel.. I hear it loud and clear.. Would you guys say its the bearings? Im not that knowledgeable in this area.. anyone care to elaborate?

Try repacking the grease on the main wheel bearing. I had that problem before (18,000 miles) on my Integra and after we repacked the bearings, the noise went away.

I could be bearings... Well when i had bad bearings for my 4th gen, it made a rubbing sound... The first thing when i read clicking on your title i thought of the cv joint/axle. It probably got dry and went bad. Check the cv joint out and see if its greased or even torn.

Yeah... Bad bearings makes this annoying rubbing noise... Best bet is that the CV's went bad...

hmmm.....or if this clicking noise gets fast as you roll faster, possibly check you tire treads for a small pebble stuck in it, or a screw or nail in the tire.

I agree with Eddiebx........i believe that the clicking noise could be caused by a nail or skrew in your tire. I have a 98 accord and i had the same problem. My car had a clicking noise in the front drivers side wheel, and it ended up being that i had a skrew stuck in my tire tread. Good luck fixing your problem.
