Default Squeaking Rear Suspension

Bit of a funny one this one - my rear suspension squeaks but only when passengers are exiting the car. Seems quiet under normal driving conditions. Any ideas?

Its usually the handbrake shoes with some dirt in the drums.

Try 'bouncing' the rear of the car with handbrake on then off.
