Default Brake problem

Having a little trouble like usual on my 97 civic ex. I did my front brakes couple weeks ago everything turned out real good. Just finished my back brakes today and every time i go to stop it feels like my pedals pumping and theres a loud clunking noise from the back.I have done backdrum brakes on every car i have ownedim pretty sure i did everything 100% right i go by the hanes manual. Any suggestions on what it could be or enything?

my rear brakes are doing that as well when i let it sit over night... not sure what it is. The front brakes are also doing some weird stuff now as well... i really need to go see a professional [X(]

try going to get a brake inspection at a certified mechanic... that should help (although it will cost $100-$200)

if ur used the right shoes/drums and everything is actually installed correctly, there shouldnt be any problems. i did my shoes/drums a little while back and its been doing great. all i can say is double check the spring clips, springs, cables, arms, shoes, cylinder, drums, adjuster, re-grease, etc..
