    The noise made by my 1999 Accord LX (4 cyl 5-speed 192,500 miles) has been
    diagnosed as rear wheel bearings. This has been going on for a few months.

    Do I need to worry about repairing soon or will the noise get worse before
    the hub unit completely fails? Will driving at sustained high speeds for
    long periods make the problem get worse?

    Thanks for ideas and repair suggestions.

    There's TSB's here,

    for the early Odyssey and for the Accord, I think. They can usually go
    for a long time (in my experience with an early Odyssey) but you
    wouldn't wan to go on holiday with your family. The hub / bearing
    assembly is worth ~ $100 US at NAPA

    If you don't change them, they can run dry and catch on fire.
