There is a problem and it's not the bumps and potholes. Are they the front wheel bearings going bad?
Make sure that the ground straps between the front struts and the inner fender are present and intact.
Too many times these rot off or break off and allow an electric charge to pass from race to race though the rollers instead of from the suspension to the body like it should, eventually killing the bearing.
Be sure that all your underhood engine, transaxle, battery and body grounds are clean and secure as well.
When pressing (never hammering) the new bearing into the hub and knuckle, no load must be placed on the rollers as the dings left in the races will shorten the bearing life. Use a quality name brand bearing.
