My 93 wagon is exhibiting progressively worsening brake 'squealing'. Not always by any means. Started out sometimes with car not moving, has now appeared sometimes when starting out, especially in reverse.

I've posted about this before when it was only showing up at rest and met with some derision: 'How could brakes be squealing when you're not moving!?'

Well they did, they are, and it's getting worse. My only hunch is something leaking in the brake assist. I probably should mention that there is a mystery brake shudder when braking at higher speed (PO had full front brakes done, I installed new tires, struts, tie rod ends, then alignment.) My efforts improved things, and I have no clue if there is a connection with the squealing. ABS light is not on.
