Why did you replace the right rear caliper? Did you bleed all four corners?

I'd bleed all four corners. Bleed the rears quite a bit because of the distance to the master cylinder. I'm betting you've still got some air in there. Remember to top off the master cylinder if it gets low and leave the cover off until you're finished. Bleeding is cheap before you go looking for more expensive remedies.

ok i'll try that and see what happens. i guess i have been lucky in the past---only had to bleed the one i replaced and everything worked fine. this kinda through me for a loop. thx for your advice
