Here's the issue. Any suggestions would be helpful.
I have just replaced the right rear pads and caliper on my 99 Altima
and after driving a mile the wheel started to smoke. The caliper is
seized, so I returned the caliper, thinking I may have just got a
defective one, but after getting another new one, the caliper locked up
again. I bled the brakes numerous times. The ABS light also came on.
From what I have heard, it shouldn't be the master cylinder because
that would effect all brakes. I'm not sure if it may be the booster or
the porportioning valve?, or something in the ABS box?

Dude I doubt you will get any response from this newsgroup. This
group is really not useful however I monitor and post sometimes hoping
to get help from this newsgroup like I do for my ford explorer on the
explorer newsgroup.

What I have found is http://www.nicoclub.com/ .

This is a message board for Nissan owners that is awesome. Nissan
techs answer your questions. Check out the board under the Altima
category and search the messages. I think you have to register (FREE)
in order to post but will cost you no money.

Good luck !!!!!!
