Hi,
I have had the same issue on both my FL chassis motorhomes.
The problem lies in the rollers that push the shoes into the drums.
The drums need to be removed and the actuator rollers cleaned and lubricated. Google "FL BRAKES" and it shows them.
Suspension bushings are never the issue.
I have done it myself both times and the hardest part is removing the wheel. There are no hydraulics or fluids to worry about.
Good luck and let us know how you make out please.
Had the exact same problem with our 2006 Phaeton, after it was fixed in June 2011 it has never re-occured. At the same time we had a leaking inner wheel bearing seal replaced at the same wheel position.
