MK2 focus rear wheel noise

Strange noise from rear of MK2 focus when taking right turns under load especially roundabouts. Sounds like a rhythmic whoosh whoosh noise in sync with the wheel moving. I've jacked up and checked the rear wheels for bearing play but can't feel any and the wheels spin fine. Had new shoes last year the springs and shocks have been previously done. Also recently passed mot. All I can think is maybe some play in the bearing under load is causing the brake shoes to catch the drum or backing plate

    Hi found the issue if anyone is interested. Rear left brake shoe was damaged causing it not to sit correctly against the drum. Suspect garage did this when replacing the shoes - bent the lower part of the shoe due to springs. Removed shoe straightened the damaged part (hammer) all good now.
