Ford Falcon XR8 2004 rear wheels squeak

The rear wheels squeak even while driving not even applying the brakes. Any suggestions? Cheers

The handbrake can be an issue with them. It tends to be more of a scraping sound though. Does the noise go away if you lightly apply the handbrake?. If it does then it will need adjusting.

Theres also a stronger return spring set you can get for the hand brake shoes to keep them from touching the hubs.
