2001 Pontiac Grand AM GT brake noise

I have a 95 Grand Am with rear drum brakes. I had a bad squeak noise
when I started out and it slowly got quieter during my drive. I had
just replaced the front discs and so I went back to the dealer
thinking that the pads were defective. It turned out to be brake dust
in the rear drums. A LOT of dust accumulated over 10 years.
Cleaning it out made the squeak disappear. Just a thought. YMMV.
