RE: What happens when you do nothing bout wheel bearing
New rim??? i thought we were talking about a bearing, if oyu dont replace it it will get worse in sound and handling, eventually it will go out and take the cv joint, axle and abs sensor, the day i replaced mine it took out the abs sensor

the word could possibly be "catastrophic failure." which would mean your wheel bearing would go out causing your wheel hub to supper heat and eventually, if you stop in time, seize the wheel. Just get the job done.
Here is a DIY if your interested (pictures don't work) - bearings are around $60/each via ECStuning.com

yeah, the wheel bearing has nothing to do with the rim...
if you leave it and let it get worse, it WILL eventually seize and your wheel will probably fall off at that point. just fix the damn thing, it isn't that expensive and as a bonus, your car won't sound like a bus anymore!

that's a good point, wheels don't just "fall off" when you're doing 70 on the highway. they take off everything in the general vicinity on their way out. I'd hate to think how much damage that would do to the rear quarter panel of your car, and possibly your fuel tank although that's unlikely.
