Front Wheel Bearings a little loose, What if I just tighten them up for now? 200

Yes, they will self-destruct if they are ignored, but you'll probably notice the rough feel and howling noises before then. Take a look at the bearings, if the needles fall out, immeadiately replace them. If they are a little sloppy and the race does not appear to be overly scoured or roughed up, just repack them, snug them up but do not over tighten, that will cause premature failure.

However, give credence to the thought that good wheel bearings are relatively inexpensive, they do not require PHD to repalce them, and mostly, your car will drive nicer and you will be safer. Always replace the cotter pin with new one.
