When I took the tire off, there it was a pad installed 'inside out.' I ended up installing new rotors and shims and all seems to be working well now. Thanks!

Good result Trav. You certainly aren't the first, and will not the last person to make that error!

I had the same and did a full cleaning of the caliper including the gliders. They tend to get stuck by the dust and dirt. It's a real pain in the ... if they get fully stuck so I ordered a revision set containing all rubbers and seals + I bought some break grease for the gliders. Sins I had one stuck I check them every 10.000 miles remove the gliders clean them and re-grease them, just to never ever replace the wheel hub again that broke due to the stuck break gliders.
