Are you hearing a grind or scrub only when you apply the brakes; or, can you hear it at other times?

Crank down the window and listen to it while moving forward slowly and in reverse.

If the noise is there all the time, could be you need to adjust the parking brake.

Well, I'm testing my memory on this vehicle. But, I believe it has traditional parking brake shoes that expand against the inside of the rotor. With this set up, there would be a star wheel, accessible behind a rubber grommet on the backing plate.

(1) chock front wheels of the vehicle, on a level surface.
(2) place vehicle in neutral (you'll need to be able to turn the rear wheels to adjust the brake. Set the parking brake (about three clicks will set the pedal about where it usually should engage the parking brake).
(3) support the rear axle securely on jack stands---never trust just a jack.
(4) from underneath the vehicle looking towards the back of the wheel, look for a rubber grommet pressed in near the bottom of the backing plate on the axle.
(5) pry the grommet out with a screw driver.
(6) through the exposed slot in the backing plate, using a flashlight, you should be able to see the star wheel. It's a notched ring that can be turned with a large screw driver.
(7) you have to turn the star wheel either clockwise or counter clockwise to adjust the parking brake. As I remember, one side is one way, and the other side opposite.
(8) try to turn the rear wheel. If you can turn it, then the parking brake needs to be adjusted tighter so the wheel won't turn. Turn the star wheel with a screw driver to tighten.
(9) if you can't turn the wheel by hand, release the parking brake inside the vehicle and then try turning again. If you can't turn the wheel or hear any scrubbing, then the parking brake is too tight and needs to be adjusted to back the shoes off some. Turn the star wheel with a screw driver to loosen.
(10) repeat process for other side of the vehicle.

Yeah, if my memory is right, the rear disc brake vehicles have a disc which has an inner drum. The caliper and pads clamp against the disc rotor, while there are conventional brake shoes for the parking brake that expand against this inner drum part of the rotor.

You adjust the parking brake the same way you would adjust conventional rear drum brakes.

Make sure you test the parking brake when you're done. You don't want to adjust them too much to where they don't do their job.
