For some reason i keep burning through wheel bearings on my front passenger side. Here's a timeline of the issues replaced:

October 12' - Replaced hub with junkyard hub/timkin bearing/seal kit, reused the steering knuckle that came on my car.
January 13' - Replaced bearing and seals again and was advised to order in a new hub and to get a new steering knuckle (mine was in rough shape I guess)
Early March 13' - Used a new (junkyard) knuckle, new timkin bearing/seal kit, new oem hub, new lower ball joints (both sides), new tie-rod ends (both sides), front end alignment.

I've put maybe 1500 miles on my car since early march and the bearing is shot again. I'm at a loss trying to figure out what is the root cause of this.

Edit: I have a 1994 Celica GT (10/94) w/5 speed manual

Hmm the only thing I can think of at this point is the bearing and new wheel hub pressing went poorly.

Or you need a new wheel assembly for the bearing to rest into. I'm assuming if enough time went by with bad bearings there could be damage to the bearing recess itself, causing unwanted movement in just that location.
