I'm no expert, but after doing a search on wheel bearings, doing nothing is a bad idea! They eventually sieze, and that means a tow truck. And the siezed bearing, when it does sieze, ruins the parts in contact with the bearing. Result? Mucho $$$. I'd rather pay $125 to replace a bearing and have my car drive/handle

Actually, you are absolutly right. The bearings will eventually sieze and bring extreme heat to all surrounding parts. Not good for the cv boot. I probably should have posted a j/k on the advise, so j/k hehe. But seriously, my bearings have been at a constant state of grindage for several months, and I have done nothing to fix it. Probably because I am saving for a new car, but that is no excuse either. I would not recomend driving for a long duration on loud and faulty wheel bearings.
