Driveworks Hub Assembly with Wheel Bearing

I recently ordered 2 National Hub Assemblies because the cheaper NTP brand that I had installed just over a year ago went bad. Not only was there a lot of slop in the bearings, but also my ABS system was engaging every time the vehicle just about came to a stop. This time I had my Brother In-Law who is a certified mechanic help me put the National hubs on. He started by removing everything needed to the point of installing the new hubs. He then told me that if I had followed the proper procedure for torquing the axle nut, I would not be replacing them now. He estimated that I probably over torqued the 2 nuts by about 60 or 70 pounds. When he asked if I used a torque wrench, I told him I did not because I thought there was a positive stop that would not allow the bearings to be compressed too much. He told me that I killed the hubs, and I was lucky that they lasted as long as they had. He also stated that even the cheaper hub assemblies have to conform to MVSS (motor vehicle safety standards). He said while it is possible to get a bad Hub from any manufacturer, the ones that customers complain have not lasted very long, and they installed them on their own, were not installed properly (most of the time not torqued by a calibrated wrench). So long NTP hubs, please forgive me for sending you much too soon to that bone yard in the sky.

How do you rate a wheel bearing/hub assembly a week after you bought it? The proof is whether it lasts or not. My last replacements lasted 25 months. Hope these last longer. Ordering and installing was easy, other than that I can't say at this point but I am reviewing this part to get Advance Auto off my back.
