The wheel bearing can overheat and fall apart causing the wheel to come off of the vehicle. This can happen with little to no warning. Have this repaired it is very dangerous to operate a vehicle with a bad wheel bearing.The bearing will usually make noise first then proceed to a vibration. If left long enough the bearing will either sieze or break apart, with the wheel coming off (but that last is an extreme case).I the worst case the wheel can seize up. Go get it fixed as soon as you can, if it is making a lot of noise and you have had it for a while you might even want to have the car brought in on a flatbed truck to the repair shop

How long can you drive on bad wheel bearing?
If it truly is the wheel bearing that has gone bad, the noise will start out small then progressively get louder. On most modern cars the wheel bearing can be driven on until the noise is unbareable to the driver, I have driven a bad wheel bearing for a few hundred miles before having it replaced. Since the make, model, and year of the car is unknown a proper answer is unable to be provided so I am not suggesting to drive the car long distances but usually all that will happen is the noise will grow progressively worse.i would not drive at all you will cause dammage to spindle which will cost much more to repair and you could lose the entire wheel off the vehicle
