The brake rotors are warped - not a particularly dangerous problem, would cost maybe $100-$150 to have fixed.

if its not your brakes causing it go have your tires rotated and balanced. and be sure to check the condition of the tires for bald patches or unusual wear if they are quite worn (wear markers level with the tread) replace the tires.

Re: 2002 zts Brake poping?
Rotors may be warped from uneven torque on the lug nuts. Loosen and tighten the nuts to 100 lbs./ft. in a criss cross fashion with a torque wrench.
