The front wheels will fall off; ten you’ll be in deep doo doo. You can’t afford NOT to fix it if you’re going to drive the car. They’ll go without warning.

Question by Nick P: What will happen if you continue to drive a car with a bad wheel bearing/hub assembly?
My girlfriend has a 2000 Dodge Neon that has bad wheel bearings on both sides. I haven’t had time to change them yet and they are making a loud grinding noise while she is driving. I’m wondering what can happen if you continue to drive on them? Thanks in advance!

Wost case scenario, the wheels lock up.
Best case, they continue to make noise and cut your MPG.
