Exclamation brakes sticking on

i have a 1995 neon, and the front brake on the passenger side is sticking on. a few months back we replaced the calliper on that side and since then the brakes have been sticking on. they were sticking on so bad the car was overheating, but we changed the master cylinder (it was a used one though) and the problem seemed to go away. now once you release your brake pedal the passenger side sticks on a little bit the odd time, but after a few seconds it lets go. Anyone know what the problem could be?

try replacing your rubber brake line that connects to the caliper. They tend to collapse on the inside.

Our 1st generation Neon had a problem with the front brakes sticking. We replaced the calipers (one was cracked) and that didn't solve it. We replaced the front rubber lines and our problem was solved.
