I took my car to get brake pads they told me when l bearing was bad. I do not hear any grinding. My question is can I drive it at all? I need to drive it to a pier about thirty miles away to ship it, then when i pick it up very short drive to shop to get it fixed. I cannot afford to fix it before I ship it. Will this be okay to do?
