Default wheel bearing

hi all

just wandered if its normal for a 03 plate mk1.5 focus to eat 4 wheel bearings in 2 years

what could cause it ? or is it just because im buying the cheap ones all the time?

ive had the car 2 years got one replaced(forgot whitch side) when i bought it,then about a year later got the other side done when it started whining.then aprox 6 month later the first one i had replaced needed doing again.

anyways 2 months ago the car scraped throw on the mot with advisorys on the front brakes so i thort i would get the whole lot done at once.
bought new front discs and pads and rear shoes hubs and new rear bearings to go in the new hubs.

just been to london and back(nearly 1000 miles) and the rear driver side is making a whering noise.

since the new bearings were fited ive probebly done at most 2000 miles

so any thorts?

john
