1993 Ford Ranger XLT 3.0 V6 RWD rear right brake was leaking so badly that I had to refill one bottle each time I drove. After replacement of brake cylinder the leak stopped, but after driving I noticed right away an awful smell and then discovered that the brake was touching and causing overheating of the metal parts and the center part of the wheel.
Also the brake has a spongy feel to it and when depressed it makes a gushy sound as if air is escaping
The mechanic says I need to replace the booster.
My question to you all is if you think that replacing the booster will reduce break locking and prevent rear right brake overheating?
I know everything about wild animal rescue but very little about my Ford Ranger so I could really use some advice since I live on a small island near South America and good mechanics down here are scarce.
