I AM HAVING TO REPLACE THE RIGHT WHEEL CYLINDER IN MY 95 NISSAN QUEST FOR THE 2ND TIME IN LESS THAN 3 YEARS. I WAS TOLD THAT THE FIRST TIME I FIXED IT THAT IT WOULD BE A LONG TIME BEFORE I WOULD EVER HAVE TO REPLACE IT AGAIN, WELL NOW IT IS LESS THAN 3 YRS LATER AND I AM HAVING TO REPLACE IT AGAIN. THERE SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM AND I WOULD LIKE SOME ANSWERS. *JB
