I had an Austin 1800 some years ago and the nearside front bearing went on that while on the motorway taking a friends girlfriend and her kids to Bristol. It went as we were passing Nottingham.
Trust me, the grinding noise doesn't go away when you apply the brakes
By the time we got to Bristol the housing had split as well. My mate down there knew someone who worked in a garage, and he put a steel band round it to hold it together. It went again a few weeks later and the front dropped significantly. I just left it on a side street and called the scrappys. They wanted £10 to pick it up. I said no, but a couple of days later went past the road and it was gone
