Clicking Tire

Ok, getting bad sound from drivers side front tire area. dont here it above 15-20 mph, dont here it when turning right, only straight and left. Sounds like a metallic click, kinda like running a metal coathanger across bicycle spokes(?). front tires are 2 weeks old, checked them, no rocks or anything in them. Car has 106k miles, hoping its not major. Car also rides kinda rough, stock wheels, not lowered (yet). Any suggestions?

Either your strut bearing, or wheel bearing needs replacement. Jack the car up at that corner and try rotating the wheel. If it moves more than 3"(?) either way, it's the wheel bearing.

i'd also check the axle boot, if it's busted, it's axle time.
