Hi
I think your problem is to do with the actual pin which support the floating caliper. The side which the pads wear down on you will probably find that the brakes are binding slightly. Replace the two pins, wear the 13mm bolts screw into. I doubt if the dealers will have them in stock, but they are available along with a gaitor kit. They are only £6or 7 pounds each.

This should resolve the problem.
