Default Multiple Rear Wheel Bearing Replacment and Still Fails After 3 Replacements

So I've had my rear driver side rear wheel bearing replaced now 3 times.
1st Attempt just the bearing was replaced. Worked for over a year
2nd attempt both the hub and bearing was replaced. Worked for over a year again.
3rd attempt which was 3-4 months ago the entire knuckle was replaced

What are my next options? Axle? Could a failing control arm cause more stain? Anyone else encounter issues like this?

I'm running a 2001 S4 with 175K miles on it. All stock suspension.

Are you positive a brake is pad is not dragging? Heat can lead to grease degrading quickly and bearing failure.
