It does not have abs. I think it is the rotors, but I don't want to spent one hundred dollars just to find out it wasn't the problem.

That is on a 1998 Cavalier Drum brakes in the rear. As long as there is almost New Lining on the shoes. Check the connection on the ABS or replace the sensor & adjust the brakes.
