79 Trans Am Brake Question

[AriesEd68]

I have a 1979 Trans Am, and there is a loud noise from the rear tire on the driver's side when applying the brake in reverse.

And a small trail of black dust on the pavement from that side.

Could that mean a new rotor and pads are needed, and which on the NAPA site would be best for this car?

It sounds like something is sticking.

Have you taken the wheel off to look?

Thank you,

Just found out that it needs a new rotor and pads on that rear driver side.

But, another question, I was told to get new springs, too, but how many new springs?

Springs?

Like the suspension springs?

I assume rear brake shoe springs?
