I have the same thing happening with my truck right now, after I hit a pothole just the right way with the front passenger, tire the truck will get a severe vibration. I am now getting a on/off clicking sound from that same wheel. It seems to come on with encounters with bumps/potholes in the road.

I am thinking a front wheel bearing is going or already is trashed.
