<<A simple a cheap fix may be to check tire pressure first, as a low tire will
cause it to pull to either side.>>

Checked that and everything is square all the way around.

<<And this happens only when braking?>>

Yup. Braking only.

<<If so, I would say pull the front tires and check the pads for uneven wear;
possible a caliper piston may be shot causing the pads to drag. Check the
caliper bolts/pins to make sure they are nice and tight, as one may become
loose and a pad may be dragging.>>

I checked that a couple of K miles ago and everything looked fine... I'm due
for another tire rotation soon so I'll check 'em again then. The thing is I
only get squealing/noise from the rear drums and no noise at all from the
front brakes.
Thanks for the input.
