We have replaced the passenger side front brake caliper 3 times in the past 5 months. It keeps sticking, and when you change it the rotars are very hot and needed replacing. Tried different brands of remanned calipers so the part is not the problem.

Did you bleed the brake system after replacing the caliper? Did you re-grease the slider bolts before you put them back in? Did you tighten the bolts to the torque spec?
