Default 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.

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

Can cause steel to warp too.
