Wheel bearing defective, can you still drive the car?
Hello everyone,
A rear left wheel bearing on my 2004 Volvo S40 is defective, and it's making a slight humming noise. Now the question: Can I drive it another 800 km? Will it hold up? And what's the worst that could happen?
Thanks in advance!

Should go. The brood comes from small outbursts in the career of the balls. More important is how much game the camp has. Take the corner up and check the game. If there are several millimeters, please go to the workshop – if it is hardly noticeable, you can still do the ride.
If the wheel bearing is defective, vibrations, uneven tire wear and increased heat development can occur in the wheel bearing. If you ignore and continue the problem, this can lead to a total loss of the bearing, which can lead to a loss of control over the vehicle.
It is strongly recommended to have the defective wheel bearing repaired as soon as possible by a professional mechanic to ensure safety. In some cases 800 km can still be driven with a defective wheel bearing, but there is always a certain risk. If you need to drive, you should be careful and drive slowly to minimize the risk.
However, I recommend you to fix the problem as soon as possible to ensure that your vehicle is safe and reliable.
In the worst case, the wheel bearing and the wheel even eats out. If it sounds, I wouldn't drive 800km more
You shouldn't drive with it.
Defective bearings can suddenly block or run very hot.
Therefore, let the defective warehouse be exchanged in a workshop.
Year of manufacture 2004 😉
2044…Are you traveling more time? Then I hope that you have also brought mechanics from the future, as well as the tool and the ET, that will not find anywhere today.
And now fun aside: it can be that it still keeps through, but can be that it gives up the mind in the middle. Don't put in
Oh a car from the future
Let's check this out. The car gives you clear signals that what is wrong
The camp could get stuck and you're going to leave.
