those trucks are notorius for uneven pad wear. Make sure the sliders (upper and lower) are free. Lube with syn. slider grease, nothing else. Make sure the corregated boots seal properly over the sliders, and have no damage. Finally, wire brush the harware and torque member the harware clips into (where the tabs of the pads slide in and out). The pads should "slide" in, and not require any persuasion.
If the piston boots were damaged at all, moisture may have gotten in, but it's not very likely. Just make sure when they got pushed back for the new pads, that they got "burped" so that they fold in on themselves properly and didn't get pinched between the piston and pad.
