Idler arm

I just did the wheel bearings on my truck and found out why my hubs wouldn't lock got new ones now I'm out of money and I found out that my Idler arm is going out. When I move my tire with my hands it moves back and forth thus causing a lot of vibration while driving at 35 or higher. I don't have much money at all now but i still need to get to work, If i keep driving it will the idler arm just fall apart or will it stay together but just not drive smooth? I can go to a junk yard and get one (cuz I can't aford a new one) but I can't do it until a week from today and it's an hour drive. I can probably borrow a car to get there but should I drive it while I'm waiting for that my day off or should i get used to riding my bike a lot?

Skunkworks just had a thread that covered idler arms

order the bushings they are about 0.97 each you need 2. and you will be good as new. actually order a bunch. you dont even have to remove the arm to change the bushings. Ive done it in a parking lot before with a crecent wrench in about 6 minutes.
