Front wheel bearings...AGAIN!!!????

Guys, I just replaced my rotors about 3 months ago with Duralast rotors from autozone because my bearing were bad, ya know... making the roaring howling noise going down the road...anyway, now it sounds like the same thing is happening with the same front left wheel cause the noise roars more when I turn to the right, what would cause this to happen again so soon??? I have the 2WD screw. I know they have the warranty and all still but I want to know why this is happening again, thanks!!

One word... Autozone! Bet a dime to a dollar they are made in China. I would say the name Duralast is definitely a misnomer. I'm pretty sure China makes their bearings from old used wheel weights.
