96 850 160k

How long can I go with a failing hub? I have driven on it for about a week now local only. I won't have a chance to change it until this weekend. Any risk of damage?

I went 9 monthes on the rear - it was just anoying and loud. The front has more stress on it. You may be able to bring it along for a few months but it does need to be looked at.

'96 854 - died an early death with 184K miles. Killed by the front end of an LTD on a suicide mission (T-boned and both cars totaled).
