Hi everyone,
Ok so it's brand new, only done 500km's on shake down long weekend. Driving back up the drive going slow with windows down we heard the wheels making a squeaking sound. Thought it was dust from the gravel roads so power hosed it all out. Jacked the wheels up to spin them and still rubbing noise, same on both sides. No electrics connected.
Dexter electronic drum brakes.
Any idea folks?

The previous responses seem to indicate brake noise, if the sound is a rubbing noise.
I put bearing buddy (or similar ) bearings and seals on a box trailer, and the rubber seals rub on the hub making a squeak noise, and have done so for a few months.
May be nothing like yours, but it may depend on the definition of squeal and squeak.
Cheers
