Default bad hop....

So i bought my dodge back in october when i crashed my 300ZX-T, and ever sincethen if I'm going fast, say 50 mph (thats not really fast), and I gradually lay into the brakes to stop the back end hops up and down like crazy. The wheels aren't locking up, the shocks are fine,I don't know what it could be. Any ideas?

someone please help. It is really annoying. I'm startin to think that my primary rear break shoe is worn and its just grabbing one of the shoes and it's skipping that's why it is hopping, but I'm not 100% sure.

sounds like the rear drums might be screwy, might wanna pull the rear brakes and check them over.

Got it here also...............Ive noticed that if there is any small bump it is worse, if the road is smooth it isnt as bad. Also if I let off the brakes it stops, but when I get back into them it starts again.
