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

[Bryan Blackwell]

That bearing looks to me to already have damage.  From everything I've heard, there is no hard rule about how long a failing bearing will last, but in any case it's not long, maybe a few hundred miles.  I'd see about replacing it ASAP.
