my wheel bearings hate me!

Ah that makes sense, Didn't really think about it that way.

get new bearing races, just because you change the bearing doesnt mean it will be ok. the races are bedded into the old bearings therefore can cause them to wear quicker. but first get a wheel alignment

Normally after you have done a couple you just get a feel for it, but there are actual torque settings for wheel bearings.

You need to get a proper wheel alignment. From what you said about 'camber tops set at half camber', Did you set that yourself? For true alignment each side wont be set in the exactly same positions as each other due to a number of contributing factors. And if you are attempting to run any neg camber and its wearing on the outside, alignment is obviously out.

Alot of people dont realise how much effect/differance a car is with a professionally aligned front (and rear) end. I also recommend taking to to an actual suspension shop, and NOT a tyre place. That way you are getting it done by people who are skilled in this area, and not some douchebag who fits tyres and has no experience with 'serious' cars and suspension setups. Also, after they do your alignment, they should give you further clues to the bearing problem if you explain your problem.

Its only around $55 for a proper alignment....
