    Default Hub bearing

    Think this cold weather is making my jeep fall apart. So I have a little noise in the front end and the jeep is wondering a little. I know my unit bearings are worn out. I jacked it up and there is a little play in em but not real sloppy or anything. My question is: How long will it last before im stranded on the side of the road? I do plan on replacing them kinda soon, but I dont want it to fall apart in the meantime. I can handle the noise and everything, just dont want to be stranded.

    As long as they don't get so loose that it takes out the rotors you will be OK. But I would seriously consider replacing them as soon as possible.
