Some people have had success checking and replacing the rear bearings and inner spacer for correct length. It seems the brake groan can be a symtom of this issue.

 

I also had great results by simply removing the rear caliper and cleaning the HECK outta it with brake cleaner.... you wouldn't believe the amount of gunk that came out One clean, it didn't groan or drag again for another year.
