Default 04 GT Brake Help

I've been having issues with the calipers on the passenger side of my mustang. Both the front and rear calipers have been replaced twice each and have broken for a 3rd time. I've tried troubleshooting the underlying cause myself, but haven't been able to find whats causing this. I've tried taking it to the local performance shop, but they can't seem to find the issue either. The rear end of the car squeeks and sounds as if the wheel could come off at any moment. However the alignment is fine and the car rides smoothly. Does anyone have any idea what could cause the front and rear calipers on one side of the car to break repeatedly? Any help would be very much appreciated.

Hi, are you using reman or new caliper? have you check the brake line's also. They will collapse causing a problem on the caliper's.

I've never seen or heard of a broken brake caliper.
