Is it only when applying brakes ? Or during acceleration as well. There can be many reasons.
Engine foundation
Axle slipping
Rear brake shoes at the end of life.
For first two problem the thuk sound should be heard while braking to stop as well as sudden acceleration
For brake shoes only when applying brakes plus a sound of screeching just like metal grinding.
