brake/bearing issue

I have a 07 Manning with surge brakes, and recently when I'm pulling it around the ramp, or up to or from a stop light etc., I'm getting a high pitch whine. It goes away once I get up to 25 mph or so. Bearing issue??????

Also..... after I drive home from the ramp (which is only about 10 miles or so) and I hose off my trailer/brakes, they tend to steam. Is this normal???? I went through the trailer last year and put all new pads and greased the bearings etc etc.

Thanks. :drink:

That usually happens when you spray cold water on hot steel.

Can cause steel to warp too.
