Yup, as you suspect this is a toasted bearing. Sometimes they don't make any noise (for a
while), but often show up as a wobble (esp. if on front wheels) at approx 75 mph. Get it
fixed, as you don't want it so sieze up in there. But you can very safely drive it to the
shop, no need for a tow.

Also, while you're down there try this. Get under the rear driveshaft, grasp in firmly and
while twisting clockwise, turn off your HTML, it'll make everyone a little happier. :-)
 
 HTH,
