Rubbing noise when brakes applied in reverse

When I back up I hear a rubbing noise coming from the brakes. This only happens when going backward. Is this the wear indicator???? I am going to pull the wheels this weekend and take a look, but thought I would throw it out here. I have only had the car for less than 10K so I am assuming they are original (car just passed 60K). Also, if so what pads should I go for?

is it like a groaning noise? if it is, its your parking brake sticking. I get that noise all the time and i hear the only way to fix it is with new steel braided brake cables or something like that.

Ya, definitely groaning. You can't just grease up the E-brake and work it back and forth???

If not worn pads,
groan could be from.........

If your wheels are getting wet while parked, the noise is surface rust on rotor.

If you recently installed a rear sway bar, it might have tightened up your brake cables, and therefore your rear brakes got snugged up a little.

Brakes got contaminated with something. Look for leaks.

Something could be loose. Doubt it.
