My brake booster went out so i replaced it, now when I drive it the left front caliper will lock up. i have replaced the calipers, rotors, pads, and hoses, it worked fine for about a month, now it is locking up again.

have a mechanic check this it may be an ABS unit problem he will have to bleed it with his scanner hooked up as it may have air stuck in boost valve or one to that wheel. Or the ABS unit is no good which can be rebuilt. You might try a power bleeder but that has limited success. See link.
