Rear Wheel Bearing Failure

Roaring, whining from rear. Located bad right rear bearing. Replaced both sides April, 2008. No noise. Year and 7K miles later, appears right rear is bad again. More noise. Not finding much on forum searches. Is this car prone to rear bearing failure? Why does right rear keep failing? I have 71K miles on 2000 E430.

btw, how much did this repair cost you?

thanks
