We are currently broke down in Amarillo. We made it in to the KOA and now are waiting until tomorrow to hopefully find someone to work on our motorhome. It is a 2001 workhorse p32 chassis. Everything ...

So I am standing in the shop now. It was the outer bearing. It is toast. So I am having them change all the bearings and seals in both sides as well as changing the brake pads while they are already in there. Glad it is diagnosed and is on the mend. They just sent their parts guy to get all the items needed. Thanks for all the replies.
Good that you got to the problem.
I'd also be making note of the hose contact I gave you, for if and when it might have an internal collapse, thereby pretty much ruining your brake job, as far as the pads and rotor goes. In fact, if you're keeping the coach, it wouldn't be all that bad of an idea for replacing them while you're in the shop.
Just for the sake of things, you might ask them, what their source is for brake hoses.
Problem with these hoses and along with low availability, many times the part number produces a pre 97 product and it won't fit.
The newer have a much longer metal tube and I guess some would just send them out to a hyd. shop for rebuilding.
I had a brake job done at one time and they said that they couldn't get replacement hoses, so let it go. A year or two later and yep, failure. This time I did it all myself and had no trouble after that, until sold, last year.
