Loud clicking noise
It started few months ago, I heard a clicking sound coming from the rear drivers side area. I'm assuming its from the wheel. At first it randomly make noise, as time went by, it's more constant. I cant' figure out what's wrong. I also took it to the dealership, they couldn't figure it out. It's scaring me because I'm afraid something might happen at random while I'm driving. Anyone else run into this problem? Any help would be much appreciated.

I HATE SPEEDBUMPS!
The dealership should be expert on those, but they don't know whats wrong with your car?! lol
Anyway, all i could think of is your wheel bearings is making that noise.

I was thinking it's the bearings as well. The clicking dose get faster as I speed up. as for the dealership, I really doubt that they heard anything. during that time, it would only click when the car has been driven for a while. Now it clicks every time I take it out, at times it even goes away for a few minutes.

Well... If it is a CV joint that is making the noise, it's only a matter of time until it fails. Whether that's next week or two years from now, there's no way to say.
As for the cost, the joint itself is probably about $40, and I'm guessing the labor would be another $150. A complete axle is about $130, and I'm guessing the labor would be around $100. So, usually, the price to replace the entire axle isn't much more than to replace only one joint. (Each axle has two CV joints.)
NOTE: The above prices are my educated guesses, based on my experience with other cars. You'll have to do your own research to get a more accurate answer.
