Exclamation General Question! Someone HELP PLEASE

Ok, So I'm not sure If i'm even in the right place to get help; I'm a Chic, so I don't know **** about cars...but here goes!

So, I have a 2005 Mazda 3 and recently it started making weird loud noise as I started it, and when I pull off to drive it feels like the front right tire "pulls" like it is straining itself to drive....It eventually will go away once I've been driving for a while...also when I hit bumps it's EXTRA bumpy, like my tire is gonna fall off...the car also jumps/jerks a little once I first start driving' but that also goes away after a few.... I know I'm not describing this correct but I'm praying someone can help?? Just yesterday I heard a faint like clicking sound as I was driving...everything always coming from that front right tire area...Anyone know what this could be?? I need my car to be RELIABLE to drive 900 miles home from Xmas next week!!!

take it to a garage and get it inspected. We would be just guessing. It could be brakes, drive shaft, sway bar, or a combination.
The pull to the right suggests a brake caliper that is seizing. Extra bumpy could be suspension related. The jumping, jerking could be engine or transmission.
You really need a good inspection of all the above.
Hopefully the faint clicking is brake or susp related.

the best thing you can do is to get it check, get a quote, and come back here and let us know. then we might be able to weed out what is really a problem, and what is extranotneeded **** the shop wants to do. get the quote in writing. sears or advance auto parts. just get an inspection and a written quote. you can tell them: ¨thank you, let me give this to my husband so he can bring the car here¨. as always, i have to agree with useyournoggin.
