Default Squealing when I brake that goes away

Hello, I am new to the forum. I have owned my 1994 850 Wagon non-turbo version for the past 4 months or so. I bought the car from a dealer with 120K miles under the hood. I immediately had a transmission fulsh, oil change, rear brake job and had the timing belt replaced (since it was never replaced). All has been well, except for the past month I have noticed when I first start the car and apply the brakes, my right rear wheel squeals (and I mean loud) whenever I apply the brakes. After the car rolls for a little bit the squeal goes away completely. I have heard various opinions and will take the car in for a check-up but wanted to see if anyone might know what the problem is before I take in (so I don't go in blind). Some have said rust or something else on the new brake pad, and others have said the wheel bearings lubrication is going bad? Any opinions would be appreciated. Thanks!

My s80 did the same noise, somebody mentioned to me the brake booster.
