Check wheel bearings also. I had a P30 & the wife complained of a low tone howl. I could never hear it. I had it checked by a truck manchanic who said all ok. She kept complaining until the driver side rear axle sawed itself off at the wheel. The only thing that kept the duel wheels on the rig was the brake assembly. Completely destroyed the entire axle housing. $6000. P30 chassis are notorious for overloading the rear axles.
Regarding your last statement about overloading rear axle; I have found two axle-specific reference sources that state my axle GAWR is 8600lbs (10.5" GM Corporate/AAM). The sticker on the MH states 10,000 lbs. I am wondering if GM made unique changes for MH chassis to increase the GAWR?
