Default Wheel hub/bearing or something else?

Nissan claimed they repaired two front bent rims I had. They gave me the car back and it rode horrible. I went back and they said I have a loose front wheel hub/bearing but that it wasn't urgent. They said I could go a few thousand miles still, until my next oil change. But that was a week ago and my car is driving badly. The noise is getting worse and I'm afraid something is going to happen, like my wheel falling off. I told Nissan to order the wheel hub/bearing. Is it safe to drive my car?

I would get them replaced asap. It'll be OK to leave them for a couple more miles but don't rely heavily on them.

Also, if you're getting the Nissan dealership to replace your hubs, be prepared to get cost raped by them. Get them installed elsewhere or DIY. You'll save money.

If you hit something hard enough to bend two wheels, the bearings are probably totally failed.
