Tires and Wheels problem
2002 Toyota Corolla Automatic

I have been hearing a slight clicking coming from my front wheels while I'm driving, fast or slow. I don't know what it could be.

HI there, have the CV joints in the drive shafts inspected as this can cause a click, you will hear this often when driving around corners.

To add to Mark's great advice:

Raise car, put on stands. Grasp tire and push/pull both horizontally and vertically, if any movement then possible wheel bearing, ball joint, tie rod, control arm bushing.

Check CV boots for any signs of leakage or cuts/rips in rubber boot.
