Default Control Arm Problem?

I get a squeak when I first start in reverse and while looking for a cause noticed the entire brake assembly moves while in reverse.( (rear end rises slightly as well)
All of my FBodies have "raised" slightly in the rear while in reverse but not like this.
I think the squeaking may be the parking brake sticking slightly because it seems it only happens after the brake has been applied.

The car also seems to veer slightly to the left when accelerating heavily... and it just started this after I changed my brakes/wheels/tires. Can this be a worn control arm bushing? Or something else I should check?
The car has a Detroit TruTrac and 4:10 gears (which are noisy) in a stock 10 bolt. Stock suspension
Thanks for any info

Check your brake backing plate bolts.
