you should buy oem quality parts

go to the jaguar dealer ship and buy the parts

if the bearing keeps going i would have a real shop install them (and check the measurements )

if that doesnt work you can buy a new hub assembly but they range $200++ each. and they do not come with the bearings

Something more then OEM quality is going on here, even cheap Chinese bearings will last longer then 6 months. Did you replace the race and bearing? New seal? New proper axel nut? 230 ft lbs torque? Spacers and shim in right position? New bearings properly packed with proper grease?

One guess would be that the original spacer shim is stuck to the original failed bearing and the new bearings are not set properly.

Just a guess!!!

I had bought a used hub and the bearing still went bad the hub had a bearing in it and everything
