Re: Everytime i use the brakes on my 2000 sunfire i here...
You probably have a shoe that has become dislodged from it's anchor point, you need to remove the wheels and pop the drums off to visually inspect the brakes.

One possible cause is a drum that is out of round and / or loose brake shoes. Another could be a loose backing plate or suspension mount.
Have you had the brakes checked ?
removhe the rear drums and inspect the placement of the shoes, make sure the leading and trailing shoes are in their proper place and all the springs are in the proper position, and the shoes are achored, loosen the parking brake and adjust the shoes to the drums, my guess is the parking brake is causing a hang up in the rear,
Sounds like a combo condition concerning your rear brakes and wheel bearings, if the noise was or is louder on right turns then left replace the right side wheel bearing and vice versa.Get this car to a shop however immediately as the ABS brake system may be trying to lock up the wheel that may be wobbling causing all sorts of havoc.
inspect the braking system for warped or uneven rotor surface, as this may cause this noise and uneven pad wear. CV joints also could cause this if the boots are torn, have insufficient grease, are damaged,or have worn bearings. Hopefully this helps

Look to make sure your brake caliper bolts are secure as the can back out and contact the wheel itself. You can feel around the whell for and gouges or scraping to confirm this. It is a stretch but there may be some foriegn object stuck under there as well.
i recently had 4 tyres fittede and tyre company had crossed threaded one stud so forcing brake disc to be loose, hence when handbrake applied got thump from brake area.
