Default wheel bearing mystery

here's one from the "what the heck" file. the front wheel bearings on the pass side of my 64 ranchero have been giving me fits for a long time now. they will not stay adjusted. they seems to loosen up after only a few hundred miles or so. the rotation of the hub on that side should tighten it if anything, not loosen. the cotter lock system prevents the nut from moving anyway. i recently replaced the bearings and races. i also cleaned every part including the hub to near surgical levels and used fresh grease. spindle threads are not damaged. the races are fully seated. the driver side has been trouble free for six years of daily use. any one out there have a clue as to what is happening? surely it's not the u-turn in front of my house causing only one side to wear.
