Moaning sound at low speeds, NO brakes applied.

[Randy Westover]

The other day I was driving in the rain up to a 4 way stop, lots of stopping and rolling. As I was rolling forward without the brakes applied I heard the low brake moan sound. I pushed the brake a few times but no change. Soon after I had to stop and then it seemed to go away. Since then I have heard similar noises while driving and applying the brakes.

 

I know the truck has the shoe emergency brake but other than that its discs around so trying to pinpoint some places to start this weekend.

 

Any suggestions?

Jack up each wheel and rotate the tire while its jacked up. You’ll probably find a bad front hub.   Could be a rear axle bearing but I’m guessing its a bad front .
