How to get it wrong?.....

Many years back when i was working for STS in Watford I had a customer complaining about a pull to one side and a burning smell?

As some will know Watford's ring road is historically jammed.. Needless to say I road tested the car in the traffic and i couldn't find anything wrong?

Point to know here is the car was left with us meaning everything was cool......... A few days later the NSR wheel detached :ohno01: Fortunately no one was hurt.

Seemingly the NSR bearing had seized but only after a few miles as it gets hot...... In stop/ start traffic i couldn't generate the temperature so totally unaware......

Needless to say the company paid for the damage and i got a written warning for not detecting the fault?

Issue was the bearing never got hot in my test drive, it sized and twisted the stub axle.....
