i bought the car couple years ago, and after three month of driving to work and home my car started to make some noise from the rear brakes.so i took it to the Les Schwab to fix it in a hurry.paids 480 for rear brake job with used parts.but the problem wasn't solved.i already took it back there to have it checked out more than 3 times and they've replaced the caliper for free saying that it was a bad caliper.even with the newer caliper installed, my rear wheels get really hot and i see alot of break dust and hardly any from the front wheels.What could be wrong with my rear brakes?

check the ebrake cables and see if they are hanging up in the housing. They may not be releasing the rear brake completely.

well.. i took it back to the Les Schwab and now.... they came up with a new problem? they said that my brake lines are at fault for doing this thing to my caliper.should i trust Les Schwab one more time and have them install new brake lines or should i take it else where and have them look at it?

Dude ask them if they checked the brake cables. Do they slide freely in the housings? Another thing your not using any kind of special brake fluid are you?
