Drum
Yes it does. All modern vehicles have breaks on all the wheels. Your Cavalier has rear Drum Brakes. Check out: http://auto.howstuffworks.com/drum-brake.htm For a description on how they work.
You should suspect the rear brakes for this one...maybe at their wear limit and keeps the light on....Possibly the front brakes...This IS a 2000 model.
yes it does have abs brakes
Disc brakes
About $20 if you do it yourself. And you should replace the spring kit hardware also.
Remove the tire and wheel from your 2002 Chevrolet Cavalier. Remove the brake pad springs and calipers. Reverse the process to install the new brake pads.
every cavalier (unless modified) has rear drum brakes and front disk brakes. Wether it has ABS or not doens't effect the changing of the brakes, it needs front pads and rotors, and back needs drums and shoes... so the front is different from the back You should disconnect the battery cable as a safety procedure so the ABS will not try to work when you are working with the brakes. Just be aware that in some GM you will need a password to unlock the radio, so be cautious about it. Good luck.
i believe it has rear drum brakes so it could possibly be a warped drum or back shock or strut those would be a good place to start
Brakes of Chevrolet Cavalier may be purchased from Auto Parts Warehouse. These are also available at Andy's Auto Sport.
