6 months ago I heard grinding and noticed excessive wear on the rotors about 1/2" on the outer edge. I replaced the rotors and pads. All was good until a couple months ago when I noticed that the wear had returned. So I thought Calipers, right! So I put on new calipers and brackets, and new rotors, same pads, they seemed to be in good shape still. I grinding has returned and the wear was instant, and loud, 1" outer edge of rotor, beyond the pad contact area. I hear what sounds like pad to rotor rubbing, Only when turning right , in forward motion. There is a lot of play with the rotor but is secure when the wheel is on. I can not figure out what the problem is. I have tried almost everything, Any ideas?

DO you mean the wear was 1 inch past where the brake pad makes contact?
