It is possible for this to be happening, they say to replace 2 brake calipers at a time. You mentioned brake lines, where the brake hoses replaced? Because they will cause a caliper to stick. The brake hose breaks down internally blocking the back & forth flow of the brake fluid. This usually happens in the front.

Front hoses were replaced, but what i dont get is why is that I replaced PS front, then PS rear and now DS front..
