I just got new front rotors/brakes and had the rear (relatively new) brakes adjusted in May. Yesterday, everything went mushy and I couldn't brake for a stop sign in my 94 Mazda B-3000. Guys who do classic cars next to where I work fixed them so good it almost made me cry. But they said the reason the rear brakes were, like, non-existent had to do with the springs, and that I need spring adjustment...something-or-other repair kits, so that the springs don't wreck the brakes again.
Like I have to tell you I'm female and they could be talking a foreign language. They are all grim about my truck, even though I get regular everything in terms of maintenance. They said the shocks are gone, the springs need to be replaced, etc. But I'm hoping since these are classic cars guys who do cars so beautiful even guys would cry, they're overemphasizing the bad points of my truck. Anyway, I'd appreciate knowing how faulty rear springs could totally destroy my rear brakes. Thanks.

. So if you could tell me what a power booster is and if it could be a "spring adjustment kit" (remember, he was translating for a female), I would be really appreciative. Thanks!
He said What am I going to rivet them onto if there's nothing there, but does it matter if there's nothing underneath the wheel arches (I mean at a 90-degree angle to the rusted out area right over the tires), as long as there's no rust visible to the naked eye? Like if you don't bend over and look under the replacement arches? Thanks!
what would be a reasonable price to ask for the truck? Ever since the guys fixed the rear brakes, and now that they're going to put in those drum-springs, the truck rides really well. Thanks again!
