USA Is driving the 2002 dangerous w/ tie rod, wheel bearing issue?

corolla 2002 , 190000 miles, automatic
Problem: Vibrating and thought it was an alignment so....
Took it to Tires Plus. They said ....

Vibrating was coming from tires being severely cupped.
Wrote up an estimate to.... remove and replace tie rods.
Includes replace inner and outer bearings, cups and seals and repack where applicable. Front, one side.

Question. This car needs to be driven tomorrow for 3 /12 hours back to home. Is this dangerous? Can this wait until Monday after I return home?
Thanks
