After a while we came to the conclusion replacing the hubs is the best solution.
Has anyone ever had this issue? Having to replace the rear hubs due to mis-threading of the bolts? Could constant work on/around the wheels cause this (taking wheels on/off a bunch of times)..?
Or could the fact that we lowered it recently have an impact here?
Any thoughts?

My thought on the damaged threads is that the wheels weren't torqued to spec when they were removed/re-installed multiple times. You shouldn't have to worry about wearing out the threads.
