No, get it in to a shop sooner rather than later. An Enterprise rental car is $50 but if a bearing fails and your RR wheel passes you as you are going down the freeway it will be a lot more $$. (don't ask me how I know)

Some good qualified shops in SoCal:

+1 to topless you can spin the race and ruin the seat that it resides in, sometimes it just welds the entire assembly together.
