You have to be very discriptive with what you did to your vehicle already for any good type of answers.

First start by telling us what type of brake system you're dealing with. Rear drums or disc's?

If you have drums in the rear, they're probably out of adjustment. Try adjusting the rear brakes and drive it. Make sure when you have the drum off that the brake cylinder's aren't leaking and are working fine before you adjust them.

If you have rear disc's, make sure the caliper slides aren't hung up. Meaning they move back and forth freely allowing the caliper piston to clamp the brakes to the rotors. There are rear caliper adjustments too you can do by moving the spring on the caliper back and forth. You'll notice the caliper gripping the rotor more as you move it.

If you've already replaced the front calipers/master cylinder/hoses and bled the FULL system (front and rear) then maybe you have a vaccum leak somewhere. Try replacing the check valve by the booster. There's procedures you can follow to see if they valve's working properly or not.

If all else fails, don't make sharp left or right turns Hehe.
