Plastic thrust washer is important
Morons who did the hub on passenger side (Utah) left out the thrust washer, hub started to go. New hub from Napa $239, new thrust washer from Ford $8.00. For want of a nail the shoe was lost, for want of a shoe the horse was lost for want of a horse...

You had to shoot your horse?
I think a large part of the problem is a mechanic no longer uses his brain to diagnose a problem. For the most part they're used to just plugging the computer in and swapping parts. Your whole cause / effect scenario is lost on them because it's not covered in the manual (unless it pertains on how to negate warranty coverage).

So often people lose sight of the "little things" in favor of the things that hit them up aside the head without realizing that they would get hit far less often if they looked closer at things.
For lack of petroleum molecules a bearing was lost, for lack of a bearing a hub was lost, as a result of a broken hub a wheel came off on the freeway...........

. My bet is on the "lazy" comment. They probably finished, saw it sitting there and said, "Shucks...I don't want to do this all over for free, it doesn't need it."
