I took my car to get brake pads they told me when l bearing was bad. I do not hear any grinding. My question is can I drive it at all? I need to drive it to a pier about thirty miles away to ship it, then when I pick it up very short drive to shop to get it fixed. I cannot afford to fix it before I ship it. Will this be okay to do?

It you do not have any play in it drive it. Whatever side it is on drive in a circle the opposite direction if it makes a ton of noise then you will have to fix it.
