wobbles like the wheels about to fall off.

So if it is a bad wheel bearing, is it safe to drive on?

If it wobbles, no matter why, it ain't likely safe to drive !!!! Get it checked pronto!

likely tie rod or control arms. Put the car in the air and check it out.

Seems like I might have a bad rear wheel bearing. Is this really bad to drive on?
