Rear wheel whistle / squeal

Post by maximillion »

Hi, guys, spent all winter welding and rebuilding ready for an Easter camping trip and annoyingly my bus has just developed a fairly loud whistle coming from a rear wheel.

I have had the odd whistle / squeal whilst braking but tonight on my way home the noise stayed after braking for a good half a mile or so and quite loudly, just got back from a spin around the block and it seams a bit more intermittent now. Going to get the drums off and check the brakes out but could this be a bearing, read about lots of bearing symptoms / noise but cant find anything similar to this.

The reason i say bearing is that the bus hasn't done many miles over the last year of so, and on the trip back from buying it the front bearing went... probably due to it drying out?

Any thoughts? Panicking, as i only have a week to sort it out before a 60 mile trip, and the interior isnt in yet.
