as far as the brakes go, start by checking the rear. out of adjustment or worn components will give a low pedal, because rear brakes are activated first, the fronts won't receive pressure until the rears hit.

Jack up the car, remove all 4 wheels, rear drums and have a look around.

Then post your findings.
