Braking problem! any fix?
 
ok so heres the deal... i did a auto to manual tranny conversion and somehow i broke the brake booster in the process. so i bought a brake booster from nissan for a manual trans because thats what i have. well i needed one for an auto trans cause that what i HAD. so i had to buy a master cylinder as well. $500 later its all installed and im ready to go. but now, when i drive, if i start to beat on my car a little the passenger front brake will just lock up. ill be driving down the road mash the gas and pass someone, shortly after i have to pull over because my brake is smoking. WHATS THE DEAL? i took it to a shop and they said i might have a collapsed line? has anyone heard of that?
what else could it be?
thanks

hmmm did you make sure to bleed the MC if not it could be trapped air in the lines

we powerd bled the system at a brake shop. we put 4 bottles of brake fluid through it.

we also found the fix. the push rod on the brake booster wasnt adjusted properly....STUPID FIX
but whatever my car runs great now and im happy.
