About had it up to here wit Calipers

Ok I about had enough wit this Maxima and Brake/Caliper system.. I finally fixed the rattling noise underneath my car which came from a caliper on the rear passenger side which was shaking a few weeks ago. I changed the caliper a few weeks ago. the older one i changed last summer along wit a new brake line. The newer caliper now seems to b changing color like a light brown color which to me indicate they are heating up some way????....... i dont smell no brakes burning but whenever i apply the brakes they feel spongy no bite to it. I changed the rear rotors and brakes last month..can someone tell me what can b the issue. the caliper obviously came grey and i noticed some light brown markings on it (not alot but enough) Please help so I can finnaly put an end to this madness wit this right rear caliper fo good

Best bet, based on what you've described- there may still be air in you brake system. I'd try bleeding the system- flush at least a pint through that caliper.

+ 1, then paint them to see if the brown spot appears again.
