Wheel noise on my 1996 Freighliner bus (Eldorado?) 5.9 cummins
 

Fixin to get to the bottom of driver side front wheel noise on my shuttle bus —> RV conversion… there’s basically no info on this thing online.

The wheel noise is in sync with the rotation of tire (faster as i speed up), like a tapping/knocking almost ‘squishy’ sounding. noticed it faintly about 400-500 miles ago, getting lounder recently sparking my concern. Not very loud but worrisome as this is my home, and obviously not wanting it to multiply my problems. i was thinking wheel bearing at first, but what i’m hearing online is that’s more of a growl. brake pads seem okay and noise not synced w brake use. lug nuts all seem to be tight as they’ve been since i bought it 8 years ago.

Grateful for any feedback, thank you in advance!
