In this manner, can you drive a car with a bad wheel bearing?
A: No. It can, in fact, be very dangerous to drive if one of your bearings is worn out, especially since it may cause the wheel to stop while driving. Additionally, a damaged wheel bearing puts a lot of stress on the hub, the CV joint, and the transmission itself.
Beside above, how long does it take to replace a wheel bearing? Rear wheel drive, tapered roller bearing: about 15-45 minutes; wear gloves or spend another 10 minutes washing grease off your hands. Front wheel drive with pressed on bearing: 30–120 minutes depending on whether it can be pulled off and pressed in with a specialty tool.
Also, can you replace just one wheel bearing?
If there's no play or noise in the other wheel bearing, there's no need to replace it. Both have the same number of miles so both have nearly the same wear. Bearings are not replaced as preventative maintenance, they are a repair item. Fix them as needed.
What are the signs of a bad wheel bearing?
Here are some indicators of a worn wheel hub bearing or other wheel-end damage:

- Knocking or clunking.
- Wheel vibration and/or wobble.
- Shudder, shimmy or vibration at a constant speed.
