so i'm pretty sure my driver's side rear wheel bearing is bad.
it's a integra rear disc setup on my EG hatch.

anyway, my question is what are the effects of driving on a bad wheel bearing until i get the time to fix it? (other than the noise, shaking, etc)

i.e. my wheel isn't going to break off or anything, right?

 

It could damage your hub over time. but the bearing and hub assembly is sandwiched on your spindle so its not going anywhere
