ok i dont know whats going on but iv replaced the axel twice as it keeps twisting in to 2 (and not under the boot but the rod its self)....and iv replaced the barrings 3 times along with seals shop say hub and assembly looks good........and every time b4 bearings go out i hear a ugly sound from tire while turning....and im starting to hear it again....WHAT IS GOING ON DOWN THERE..
do a have heavy rims for to much torq?
p.s. all parts i get r brand new...and both myself and a shop have replaced it

your axle nut is being overtightened, i bet if you watch them theyre using an impact gun to put the large axle nut back on. it should be torqued to a specific tightness to avoid destroying the bearing. not sure what it is for your car.
