Unknown Or Other problem #1

We replaced the right front wheel bearing hub assembly in 12/98. Our vehicle is now making same noise and we will have to replace the same part again in less than 8 months. We know of another 1996 Skylark owner with the same problem, that owner has since traded his vehicle. I contacted the Buick complaint line asking for assistance in this matter, but was told there was no courtesy reimbursements since the part was guaranteed for 12 months or 12,000 miles. I do not feel this part should have failed at 59000 or 69000 miles. I also feel Buick should have been more responsive to this matter. I feel this could be a safety hazard and possibly a factory defect. Any help in this matter would greatly be appreciated. Thank you.
