when applying brakes rear brakes lock up and release in pulsating way violently comming to a stop. If applied lightly it will come to a stop. Replacing drums and brakes didnt work . Seems to improve a little after the car has been run, but if you need to stop quick the rear end of car jumps and hops.Any ideas why this is happening . Thank you

Did you replace the wheel cylinders? Is the rear anti-sway bar linked up?
