Angry 89 Tooper II rear disk brakes head scratcher

It seems that my Trooper is allergic to dust and or gravel. I have had 3 sets of Calipers, 2 sets of rotors and 3 sets of pads in the last year because of rocks getting stuck in there. I have had the rear bearings done as well. Each time the problems starts with the left rear squealing. Just had them done 3rd time a couple months ago and it just started squealing again. Is there any sort of upgrade that will help solve this problem? Thanks.

disc brakes are weird, some manufactures install them cuz' they look nice and high end! But the brakes themselves are not, good discs brakes are expensive, if your's are the cheap ones, you'll get all kinds of problems, from sqeking to easilly gettinf dirty and most of the times you can't clean them enough to get them back to new, you have to replace the little brake pads, so either upgrade to better disc brakes or go back to a good caliper brake system...heck! they're even less heavy!!!
