Many of the replys here insinuate that alignment, toe in, or bad suspension and overload could cause this problem, which I'm saying this is not the case.
Properly installed wheel bearings are designed to take any kind of overload pressure, side thrust, or any other kind of abuse imaginable. I mean, even if alignment was off so bad as to tear the tread off a brand new tire in 100 or 1000 miles, it would not even faze.....or over heat, much less ruin a wheel bearing.
Now, if the 2 bearings in the same hub are out of align w/ each other, this will raise havoc w/ the bearings. This could be caused by the bearing surfaces on the axle not being machined parallel w/ each other, or the bearing bores in the hub not machined parallel w/ each other.
I know, this is highly unlikely, but so is the problem the OPoster is having, and it the only answer I can come up w/.
At any rate, I am sure this is not a suspension alignment problem.
These suspension are not all that high tech. There is a LOT of play in them. For one it allows them to twist in tight turns. But when going straight, they tend to self align due to the slop in them.
