    worn axle= vibrations, clicking, knocking, clunking etc.

    have you pulled the wheel off to see where its rubbing or what?

        Does the sound get noisier as you go faster? Worn bearings maybe?

            I think just getting a new hub would be easier, they are cheapish, and easy to put on. Just go ahead and change them both, if you have the funds of course.

            Here's a price from auto zone....

              Yes, wheel bearings. Some tires have tread patterns that are noisy (like snow tires) but I don't think that's the case here.

              Anyways, changing them isn't too difficult but they can be if the bearing is seized into the hub real good. MOST of the time, I can bang then out using longer bolts from the backside of the knuckle. You will need a 36mm socket and a nice long breaker bar for the hub/axle nut, 12 point 10mm socket, and balljoint popper/remover to get the lower balljoint out of the lower arm so you can get the axle out of the way. Removing the hub from the bearing can be a pain if you don't know what you are doing so that may be something to get a machine shop to do.

                Put the front of the car up on jack stands. Be sure the car is secure, and will not move.
                Grab each wheel by "12 and 6" (as on a clock), and push with one hand, pull with the other. Alternate. If there is play in the wheel when you do that, you have a bad wheel bearing, and it must be replaced.

                Personally, I'd invest in TASauto's Rotor-over-hub conversion at the same time. The bearings are included, and it will make replacing your brakes MUCH easier in the future. For a little more, they even have big brake upgrades.
