Rear brake pains

hey,
Recently I've noticed my brakes have been groaning (We're talking Loud here)
usually without me pressing the brakes. This usually results in a slower reverse speed to the point i need to apply some gas. This only happens in reverse and even then not all the time.
My friend thinks its the E-Brake which also doesn't work in reverse. any guidance appreciated.
before you ask;
The calipers are good despite the fact they're original, they still operate without hanging up. and pads and such are new but worn in.

Re: Rear brake pains

Is it a shoe-in-drum parking brake or is it all through the caliper (i don't have rear discs on mine). Are you sure its not axle bearings causing the noise?

its all thorugh the caliper i have no drum anythings. wouldn't the axle bearings be making noise no matter what? or do you think it's possible for it when its going backwards?
