Take your drums off and put brake lube, not the spray, and lube all along where the metal on the shoe contacts the metal backing plate of the drum.

Also adjust the star-nut while you're down there, it'll make your emergency brake hold much better.

Yeah, well mine was the squeak that when you come to a stop, you press the pedal, and right when you take your foot off the brake.. SQUEAK!

It's the drums. Horrible adjustment from the factory to begin with.

no shadow,its the fronts too mine squeak right rear and left front, i still ahve plenty of pedal so im not gonna screw with it yet but mid summer windows down, come up to a light.... it gets annoying for sure, but ya i would also suggest jubing the shoes at the backing plates and if its the front, lube the back of your pads and your pins really good, i forget what the stuff is called but its like bright orange or yellow and it will eliminate any squeaks if applied correctly.
