Default Rotors keep getting ruined

i am new to the dodge family, i just bought a '95 Ram about 6 months ago. The wheel bearings went bad on the on both drives side and pasengers side. After that i replaced the rotors and the pads on both driver and pasenger side of the truck. Ever sense then my rotors get deep groves in them because the caliper bolt are rubbing on the rotor. could this be caused by the wrong hub assembly, becaus i have changed the rotors 2 times and it did the same thing to the 2nd set that it did to the 1st set. Any help would be appretiated i don't know what to do.

You have the wrong hub assembly. If you still have your old ones measure them against the new ones. Prob be 1/4 inch difference. The depth of your groove.

I had the same problem on my 99 Ram after replacing the hub bearings. I had went with the cheaper hubs since I wanted to change the whole axle shortly after that, this proved to be a very bad idea. I ended up with BCA National Bearing, they just look stronger. I haven't had any problems since.
