Help please
Had a bit of a mishap with the 90 tonight

The rear passenger side wheel locked solid and pulled the landy of the road luckily not to bad only hit a post

Question is

What could of caused this?

It had new stub axle, wheel bearings/seals and diff oil changed yesterday

Other 3 wheels are not locked and moved when being recovered but I cannot get any forward or reverse movement as it seems something is jammed

I don't know if this is from the wheel locking or the force of impact as it pushed bumper back onto nsf wheel and locked it also but is free now bumper pulled out

At a bit of a loss???

Could they have over toghtened bearings or not put half shaft back in correctly?? 2008 110 2.4 XS Utility (Hagrid)

I note you said "they" in the last paragraph.
"They" would my first phone call.
My gut feeling is the wheel bearing has seized or the brake caliper has come loose and jambed.
Either way I think "they" should be responsible for the recovery/repair given it's only a day out of the shop. Cheers,
Kyle.

Wheel bearings seized. Time for a serious conversation with the person who did the work.
