Default Wheel bearing question

So latly I have noticed my front right wheel bearing making noise like clicking when I hit bumps but I isn't making a noise all the time or anything so I was wondering would it be safe for me to take a 3 hour trip this weekend?

I think you will be fine. I have had way worse and the wheel bearing did hold up for ever (even heavy track use)

Sounds more like a endlinks than a bearing.

The bearing will make a humming noise at speed and will be even louder if you corner hard on that bearing

Clunking or metal to metal over bumps is either sway bar links or strut problems

Could be the ball joint too. I had that on my 944.

Yeah I am pretty sure it is bearing also when I drive it a long ways I hear a slight quiet wheel turning noise
