Default Brake Pad Wear question

Hello all, Quick Brake pad question 95 blazer
Several months ago I was getting a weird rubbing noise from my front Dr side brakes.
I replaced pads Rotor and Calipers, but the noise remains intermittantely
Today I pulled the tire off to take a look because my wear sensor was sqeaking
and I notice if you look at each individual pad one side of the pad has worn more than the other side, I'm not comparing the outside pad to the inside pad Example outside pad left side of it is worn more than the right side same on the inside pad. What would cause this unusual
wear? Caliper hanging up?

Thanks
GS

sounds like you have only one piston doing most of the work instead of both pistons contacting the pad at the same time.

The Vehicle is not pulling at all and they are new calipers I will have to pull the other tire tomorrow and see what those pads look like, When I put them back together I will grease everything up good, any other suggestions would be great

Thanks
