This is a "barking" kind of squeak coming from the rear when braking. Very hard to find the cause, many mechanics just clean the drums, lubricate around the pad mechanism and let you go. But the squeak reappears very soon or almost right away.
Once this was solved by replacing the U-shaped spring in the rear brake drum; Twice or more times machining the drum helped (will need to figure out which side is the "barking" coming from). Or you can replace the rear drums, but machining them should be sufficient.
