Check that the emergency brake cable isn't slightly on and thus dragging. This will prevent the brake linings from clearing the brake drum's outter edge or lip when the drums become worn. This is a common problem.

How are emergency brakes adjusted on a 2000 Cherokee?

If the rear brakes are drum brakes remove the wheel slide the drum off and check brake lining if brake lining is good then at the bottom of the brake assembly turn the adjuster wheel out. Check by putting drum on and spinning the drum until it spin 1 to 1 1/2 times around. If the car has rear disc brakes check brake pads probably needs to be replaced
