Drive Train Axles Bearings problem
1993 Toyota Camry 6 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic

As I drive I hear a clicking sound from the front passenger wheel area. The sound is in sink with the tire rotation, slower with longer pause between click when going slowere and more rapid and less pause between clicks when going faster. Gettin a slight vibration from that side of car. I feel it may be wheel bearings.

sounds like it could be cv joint.
take it to someone who can put it on a lift and put a scope on it. you don't have to have them fix it, but you want to be sure before you fix either one. i have had two wheel bearings go bad. In both cases I got a definite howl from the bad wheel bearings. If you don't, I would be sure before I replaced them. They are not cheap. I took it apart myself and took it to a shop to buy the bearing and have them press it into the hub. it was about $150 just for them to do that. expect to pay more unless you can find a junkyard hub. either way i'd want to be sure before spending the money.
