One more thing, it will probably be a couple weeks before I have the money for this. Fortunately, I can usually bicycle to work. But would there be any harm in driving the car with the bad bearing? Have I done any harm by driving on it this long?

Thanks!
Not being an alarmist, but, worst case scenario, if the bearing collapses totally, the wheel will fall off. Happened my parents once in a Renault 16.

The growling would have to be really bad for that to happen.
