Does anybody know how dangerous this can be? It only slightly wobbles and doesnt seem to drive any different.

Its just im not going to get chance to get it done for a few weeks, is it still safe to drive on??

I'm not an expert on MR2 rear hubs, but as a general rule.

how many mm movement do you get at the tyre tread

( wheel off the ground, handbrake OFF).

Knackered wheel bearings will usualy go on for a long time(gradualy making more noise) before they collapse.

Ultimately the wheel wobble is limited by the brake disk and pads, so they may take a bit of punishment, but it's not common for the wheel to come off.

If the bearing snatches or siezes then it will spin the outer race in the hub and knacker the hub.

If the play is only a couple of mm then you have a knackered bearing, but if you keep your eye

(and ears) on it it will probably last a few weeks ok.

dont thrash it and start looking out for a spare hub!
