Robert,
The back surface of the hub, especially the stud heads come very close to
the boots on the wheels cyinders if you have any swelling of the rubber of
if the boot is positioned incorrectly, that will make contact, Check also
that the retaining sings are properly installed. They can sometimes rub
against the hub too if mounted incorrectly. Possibly noise from the
bearing? Check for any spots where the drum might touch the backing plate
too.
