Default 07 Mule Diesel Front Wheel Squeaking

Hello,

Nothing major but yesterday I started getting this really annoying loud "squeaking?" noise from what seems the front left wheel area. You know it's loud when it competes with engine .

It only does it when I am going really slow - like 1-4 miles an hour. Once I get more speed it seems to go away. Also I don't think it does it in reverse.

Even though it sees quite a bit of mud I am pretty diligent about cleaning mud out and it still looks brand new with about 170 hours or so.

Any ideas?

Thank you

You have a brake drum seal that surrounds the inside edge of the brake drum. You have picked up a small rock or chunk of sand and it is scraping. Just go all around the seal and clean out the mating surfaces and then give it a shot of silicone. The noise will go away.
