Default Busted Hubs

Bought my truck roughly 3 months ago and noticed the passnger tire had a bad lean to it jacked it up and noticed that the hub was shot, replaced the hub and now not 2 months after replaceing it the same hub completely came apart and tore up the axle shaft in the process of gettin it on the trailer, I replaced the hub and got the truck aligned but it still seems that the passenger tire toe is out, would the 315/70r/17s i have on the truck be the cause of this? has anyone else had this or a simliar problem?

figured out on alot of aftermarket hubs the flanges are machined to far inboard and puch on the diff carrier which then pushes back there for busting a brand new hub in very few miles, so anytime ya replace a hub, spending the extra money with the dealer aint a bad idea
