Car eats wheel bearings, Whats going on. Options

In the past 5 years of owning this car, i've probably taken it in for heel bearings 5 times for different sides of front wheel bearings to be changed out.

This doesn't seem right and should not be happening this fast. anyone have any insight to what i s going on?
I've only been putting in OEM toyota parts, and had them installed by a mechanic from toyota who does side jobs out of his garage on his spare time.

I've heard that other daaged parts ( I believe its a damaged hub ) can cause wheels bearings to get chewed up relatively fast. The car also is stored for the winter. The first winter I stored it, i had it parked outside covered up, just sitting and i needed to replace one side, so i thought maybe it was from sitting so long. so the next winter I jacked the whole car up, but still had the wheels on the ground, just not supporting the full weight of the car, and when it came out of storage i needed LCA bushings in the front.

Now this past winter I also just parked it and let it sit, and i need a wheel bearing again. Its pretty frustrating having to throw money at the car for the same thing all the time, and an allignment as well, so I was wondering if you guys had any insight as to what could be causing this. I really don't think the way its being stored is causing it, and am leaning more towards a damaged hub, but I could be wrong.

I'm curious to hear your guys' experiences on this. And I know forsure the sound its making now is a wheel bearing, it grinds at full lock in reverse, and when turning right it also will grind and make that distinctive wirring sound wheel bearings do (from putting pressure on the driver side due to body roll) however at cruising speeds in a straight line it doesn't make noise unless the wheels are pointed at a specific angle ( I'm sure thats coming though)

Any opinions or suggestions would be appreciated.
