1999 Toyota Corolla 4 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic

Hi wanted to know how long can I probally drive if axle on front right side is making noise that seems to be axle/bearings. Now this noise can be there today loud an not there at all the next even with same turning, since I live on curve road.
Thank you for your time

You should replace it ASAP. If it were to sieze, it could cause an accident and damage the trans.

Generally the CV boot gets torn/ripped and the grease leaks out. This leaves metal to metal contact, which will overheat and eventually sieze.
