My car is making a very funny noise coming
from the front passenger side Tire it has
gotten much worse in the past couple weeks
I have some people telling me it may be the
wheel bearing I have some people telling me
and maybe the ball joints but I am not sure I
need help on figuring this out

Wheel bearing or ball joint assembly. Had same problem with 2000 Ford Escort.
Was it a loud like whomping noise? What was wrong with yours and where should I get the parts?
You should jack up the front and check for looseness. Push and pull on the top of the tire to see if it moves in and out. It is dangerous and can cause much more damage if you continue to drive on bad bearings or ball joints. Many shops will look at it for no charge and give you an estimate.
