I definitely wouldnt drive on it. Ive driven a car that would eat wheel bearings alive due to bad motor and transmission mounts. Initially I didnt realize the bad mounts were causing the bearings to rumble, so I had to drive it that way until someone told me it could (I replaced the mounts, and the bearings, and it stopped). Anyway, you can do it, but its dangerous. The wheel bearing on this car almost failed on me. It was a front bearing (on this car, the front bearing and hub was one unit), and I started hearing clicking noises in low speed turns. I took the street way home, and lifted the side with the bad bearing. I pulled on the top and bottom of the wheel, and it moved about a half inch in whatever direction I wanted. I think it would have fallen off if I took the highway, because really the only thing stopping it was the axle nut. A short trip might be fine, because I drove the car like this, and had to replace bearings periodically until I ultimately fixed it, but you are talking about a 1000 mile stint in a very short time period. Id rent\borrow a car, then come back and fix it. (Unless you can get the parts before then)
