Throw out bearing help

Ok when I built the motor back in april I put in a new throw out bearing when I put in the spec stage 1 clutch. It was chirping within about 3 weeks. It got worse so I changed it out a week ago and it is already chirpping. WTF!. Am I missing something here?

What brand TOB? I heard the spec was junk and the Ford was ok. I was advised to geta Timken tob, as they're supposed to be one of the best. Autozone shows it online for 22 bucks but Ive seen them for closer to 40. Sounds like just bad luck with the bearings.

Heh, Im installing my clutch this weekend (hopefully) and I was going to go with a Timken. I've heard every one sucks, Spec, FRPP, Centerforce...now Timken. WTF??
