RE : > In most cases, the fact that the bearing had been replaced would never come out, much less what brand part was used, or from what vendor. As in the case of a crash and damage or bodily harm due to a faulty part or whatever. ... They sure might investigate and inspect the vehicle.

I have been hired by a lawyer to inspect a very mangled Austin Healy 3000 that two guys got killed in .. It had been worked on in a shop prior to that. They wanted to know if something happened like the throttle got jammed or whatever, due to recently done work. Of course, huge sums where involved. In cases like that they hire somebody to see what's what , if they're smart.

in that case I had the police accident report, including tire pressures. The accident was on a rainy New Years Day. The tire pressures were around 12 psi in most of the skinny non-radial tires. And the interior of the car was gutted ..all jagged metal. It sure looked like operator error and not a part or workmanship issue.

Point is though ...if people are smart they will at least check the vehicle itself in such cases.
