interesting brake problem?? I think
When I brake everything is fine, until it starts to get to a slower speed. Once I get to about 20 until I stop the rear kind of hops. Not all over the road, but like I am going over bumps. I thought it was just the road I was on, but it is doing it on all roads now. Anyone experience this??
If you have drum brakes in the rear, it could also be a cylinder that is sticky or weak brake springs. I've seen both before. Don't notice it as much at high speeds but at low speeds, the wheel will lock, especially if it hits a small bump. I had this problem on my trailer where one of the four wheels (left front) would lock up at lower speeds, especially with no load in the trailer.
try rotating your tires
move your tires front to back. see if that makes the problem change.
Try applying your brakes while it is doing this and then letting go...does the problem go away? Try putting your emergency brake on slightly does this change the feel?
Jack up the rear tires....Put them on jack stands and put the vehicle in gear....do you see any noticable wobble to the wheel?

if your tire pressures in the rear are fine then I would say its your rear drums out of round....I had the same thing after I installed oversized wheel cylinders for the rears..machined the drums and all was well
