When you say squeak do you mean a constant sound or a 'cheep cheep cheep' type of sound. IF the latter and the car brakes OK it is probably a hard spot on the liner which will eventually disappear of its own accord.

I think I may have the solution. My rear drums were squeaking bad after long usage. I found out that my rear parking lever within the drum assembly wasn't retracting, hence it was stuck in the on mode, rubbing with the drums all the time.

So I sprayed it all down, and no more sticking, it actually release. I also loosened the star wheel a little for itself to adjust back.

Worth a shot...
