They are rear disc but is the parking brake included as well? Is that
what that little drum is for? (I am learning all this as I go, hence my
ignorance.) If that is the parking brake, can the squeal be adjusted out
or do I need to replace the parking brake?
THANKS!

Drum brakes? Be sure the shoes aren't rubbing against the backing
plate when applied. That was the issue I had with a Celica a few months
ago. I also found that when I applied the brakes and they squealed, if
I pressed real hard once they wouldn't squeal anymore on that trip.

Subject: [Shop-talk] squeaky brakes
I replaced the rear brakes pads on my daughter's 99 Toyota Solara today
in hopes of eliminating the squeal when she backs up. They were in need
of replacing (pretty thin on one side) but the squealer was not making
contac. I didn't turn or replace the rotor since it was the rear AND
they were in good shapes still.
After I was done I took the car out and it did not squeal on me, even
during varied speeds backwards. Well, I just heard that they are still
squealing at slow back up speed on my kid as she was leaving just now.
Any idea why?

Thanks.
