Forgot, yes it needs immediate attention. If you let it go too long the bearing can freeze and thus you would possibly tear up your FWD axle shaft, ball joint, etc.. Not to mention put lives in jeapordy.

Stay away from dealerships. Way overpriced. If the job takes 1 hour and 15 minutes, most dealerships will charge you 2 hours, at a rate of $60 - $80 an hour. Not all Techs at dealerships are certified, etc.. Find a local garage thru your local BBB Chapter, or word of mouth from someone you know. Ask them first to diagnose. Get a written estimate. Hopefully you can find someone you can trust.

Stay away from cars in general, they are just plain bootleg...the 'scav' has 130k in miles, runs like crap, but it gets to point a to point b on a daily basis, change the oil and add coolant and i am ready to rock
