incorrect preload?
lack of / incorrect grease?
worn / damaged stub axle?
use of wheel spacers?

lots of other possibilities too.

I would think the above, preload or lack off will shag bearings very quickly. Greased up?

incorrect fitment would be the thing i'd check - he could overtight the nut or not fold the lock tab

how was the condition of stub axle, hub etc. was when he fitted em?
