When accelerating in either first or second gear there is a noise on the right side of the car near the front wheel. It sounds like a rapid vibration/clicking sound and it only happens between ~1000 and 3000 rpms. The sound gets worse if I accelerate rapidly and it almost unnoticeable if I am creeping along. What do you guys think? Thank you all in advance.

Clicking or raspy exhaust sound? Sounds like an exhaust leak, but I've heard ticks like you describe from having a big nail/screw in your tire as well.

it's definitely coming from the body or suspension in the front right side. Maybe a squeaky/clicky noise would be a better description for the sound.

I'd check into your tire/rim, i agree with the nail in the tire. I've had a tick tick tick noise and it was a fatty nail in my tire. If its not that then you may need a wheel bearing :(

I think the wheel bearing diagnosis is right. You guys know what I should expect to pay? Any other work that should be done while the bearing is getting replaced? How urgent is it that I replace the bearing?
