Drum swooshing sound 99 Elantra

You may need a new wheel hub; the bearing could be worn.

I hear the noise only when I have the drum on. If I take the drum off and spin the hub I don't hear it. Do the rear bearings make the same noise when they are failing as the front ones? If so the rear isn't making that kind of noise.

Thanks, Nick

When they?re worn, the rear hub bearings make a sound similar to the front.

If you don?t have the drum all the way on, it?s difficult to imagine that it?s rubbing the backing plate. My only other thought is that the drum is rubbing the shoes or other rear brake hardware.
