Hello there, thank you for asking about your 2001 Ford Escape. You may have put in a spring incorrectly or did not adjust them tight enough before putting on the drum. If you think there is a missing spring then you can get a spring kit from most parts stores and install the spring. I recommend having the brakes repaired by a mechanic that knows brakes. A certified technician from YourMechanic can come to your location and inspect your brakes to see what is causing the issue.
