rear brake problem!

hello, i own a g35 coupe 2004 standard brakes, recently i installed new rear calipers and SS brake lines, the reason was because the rear driver side was sticking, after i installed everything i bled everything with new brake fluid, its still sticking!, i dont know what is happening, all other side wont stick only rear left, caliper is new brake line is new, what else could it be?, i must say it became freely the first day but now is the 3rd day and is sticking again, i hear the brake drag and smell the brake pads wearing out.

please help out

Thank you

maybe a bad bearing?

no one? could a bad wheel bearing cause this symptoms? i dont know where to look at anymore, today i decide to flush the left brake line to see if there is any issue with air in the lines after replacing, install everything again did a bunch of bleeds, and still sticking.. re-lubed everything with silicon based hi temp brakes lube... and still doing the same S H I T after a while, i depressed the brake pedal with the car off to see is there if the right side brake sticks too, and guess what the right brake is not sticking is braking fine even though with the car off... and the left one after the bleed i did the same thing it felt loose when i depressed the pedal to verify.. it sticks again and wont get loose...i took it for a ride to see if get loose, it did but before turn it off i depressed the pedal again and it sticks again... so i dont know where to check again... could a exhaust leak cause this? lol, or maybe a worn out bearing... i think not, but maybe?

thank you guys please respond, this is my 3rd pack of brake pads i'm going crazy here

it's possible that the new re manufactured left caliper is bad or prone to fail? this was initially my problem with the old caliper, it feels hard to push the piston back even with the bleeder open....

ok, i decided to tear down the whole caliper to see if there was anything wrong from manufacture, i did notice some scratch on piston, and the square seal dont sit round there is a shape form and is very dificult to push back the piston, so just for anyone that is having this kind of issue with bran new remanufactured caliper maybe is because its was bad from the remanufaturer, so i purchased it from ebay brand is a A1-CARDONE
and came faulty, rusted inside, scratch marks on piston, dust seal broken and i believe there was no honing inside the core... so i paid for shiznit, btw the right rear caliper that is also a cardone is working fine...everything looked shiny and perfect when i recieved them both...

any way dont buy cardone, i'm going to try CENTRIC reman caliper to see if it works fine

so i bought a pair of ss lines for nothing, and wasted like 2 litres of DOT 3 brake fluid

**** it i'm going big brake soon
