How bad is it to be driving on a bad wheel bearing?
Im pretty sure that my wheel bearing is gone but I currently have to drive home from school, 450mi each way and I dont have the money to fix it at the moment. How bad is it to be driving on it still?

Haven't we ALL heard this
If it is your front bearing....
Just don't do it man. That is gonna be $$$$$. You could hurt the bearing race.

From a previous thread, I think it's a rear bearing. PIA removing the assembly with the ABS sensor. Bearing has got to be pressed out.
No one can determine how long a bearing is going to last, especially one that is causing a vibration/making noise.
Good luck

the rear bearing is a sealed bearing.. and cost me 90.cnd funds for the bearing and 75cnd funds, to get it installed...when i picked up the car they told me that the rear bearing was a real PITA and if he had to do it again it would be double for labour.
