Repeated Bearing Failures after Replacement of Original

After the original Front Wheel hub bearings went, I replaced them....not just once, but several times...and I am running through them like oilf filters.
I know Bearing Failure (premature) is caused by improper torque on the nut, or else its caused by the nut loosening later on. This last time I took the strange precaution of (1) Buying a new nut (2) Using Loctite (3) A powerful impact wrench (4) and two nuts on each side (double nutting).
Anyother suggestions?
