17 Wheel bearing issue, maybe

[Vettel-ish]

Afternoon guys,

I took my car in for oil change and winter prep back in Oct. Kelly moss motorsports in Madison WI. While there they told me the right rear wheel bearing was loose and advised I get it fixed. The car is under factory warranty so I told them no big deal I will schedule with my dealer and the next day winter came in WI. Car has been in storage ever since.

Fast forward to today... Its going to be 50 tomorrow and 60 Sunday. I want to drive the car to work and maybe a short cruise Sunday. About 180 miles total.

Question is...is it worth the risk? Can I damage the car? Can I have a tire fall off? Should I just wait till April 8th till it goes into service? What would you do?

I probably wouldn't drive it.

It sucks but it would suck worse if the wheel bearing did fail.

Unless it's making a shit-ton of noise, you're fine to drive it.

If you going to drive, you'll drive it spirited(hard). So, I wouldn't be comfortable going around the corners pushing the car. I wouldn't be wary driving it easy.

You've got a known problem. Get it fixed before you drive. You can torque the nut back on yourself, and if the bearing isn't already damaged, you will be fine.
