    Ck to see if the person ya ran over back there needs any food or water!!

    Seriously, is it only when the brakes are applied, or all the time?

    Are you sure its coming from the breaks? My trailer will make a squeek not a groan when i hit the breaks. Its actually in the tongue/trailer breaks. If I squirt a little lube inder she stops squeeking for a few months.

    I'm pretty sure it's the brakes. Almost sounds like they are dragging

    Hmm.. Not sure. Call Buddy, I am sure he has an EAR for these kind of things. Could probably diagnose it after a quick LISTEN

    brake calipers are probably sticking/not retracting all the way. VERY common problem with the UFP disc brakes. Owners manual says to pull tongue out completely after backing/parking to release calipers completely so they don't stay out during storage and rust. If yours are rusty, they would need to be cleaned up with emery cloth. Have to take calipers off to see if this is the problem.
