With this kind of repetitive failures, i'd say something has got to be set up wrong...perhaps hardware failures or too much movement in the rear end. I put a lot of strain on my drivetrain, and have had only 1 failure--a twisted axle. I would go back thru the car and make sure that there is no play anywhere, and replace every nut and bolt with AN hardware. Certainly a competent machine shop should be able to produce a billet steel hub carrier with bigger bearings....if your pockets are deep enough! I wonder if the center section is moving too much under load......
