These repairs will be done tomorrow after the part is in, but I need my car to get home from work and my child to school before I return the car to the shop tomorrow morning. All told, the round trip will be about 75 miles (32 miles each way) with one bumpy gravel road involved in the school drop-off.
My mechanic asked where I would be traveling and gave the car back to me, but after doing some reading, I've discovered that a bearing that goes bad while traveling could be highly problematic, potentially causing an accident.
Is my car safe to drive for another 75 miles before the work is done? It has been making a humming noise that gets louder as speed increases for about a month, but it has gotten rather bad this week.
