[FC] How long can I drive on a bad wheel bearing in back?

You will find that the bearing in that shape is a catch 22 situation in the fact that the worse it gets the faster it gets worse.


How long? According to your picture and new grease, start looking now!

Okay, so realistically how long can I drive on this after it starts humming before it melts down. I did just re-pack both sides because it’s 50 year old grease.
