Help! ('little balls falling out')
 
Just got a call from Rachel, who is driving the red 90 legacy, and she pulled into the Grand Sierra parking lot after the car was not driving right. She told me there were 'little balls falling out', from near the front of the car, and the steering was not right - which immediately made me think we lost a wheel bearing.

I've not had this happen personally, so I don't know what we should do as a next step. Is it driveable (i.e. to the nearest service), or not? We've got AAA, so I can get it towed if necessary.


Feedback appreciated.

Tow it to Nissan when Cory is there tomorrow.

Nothing good ever comes from having your balls fall out.

Don't drive it. That's how I caused tons of extra damage when my wheel bearing went. I'm thinking CV joint which is a relatively inexpensive fix.

Thanks for the quick reply, guys!!

Ok, she left it there, and we'll have it towed tomorrow. Thanks for saving me more headaches.

Good. Not too expensive then.
