   probably wrong profile one being fitted.
   
   make sure the end taper of the driveshaft matches the wheel bearing.

   It all tightens up fine stationary. wheel has no play at all then when i drive a few miles then it loosens itself up. ive matched the hub driveshaft and wheel bearing up. any idea?

   you 100% the wheel bearing and driveshaft match ?
   
   as there's very few other reason why you'd kill 4 wheel bearings in quick succession.
   
   What torque are you doing the hub nuts too? You staking them in?
