I have replaced back brakes on both sides, when I test drove the car the wheel cylinders on both sides blew at the same time. I replaced them and they blew again, I went back to the autoparts store and exchanged them two more times the keep on blowing, what am I missing here. I have replaced these many times and never had this problem.
