You might also check to see if your outer pad is completely seated in the bracket. The hairpin spring should protrude through the caliper opening. Pic attached.

If it's your outside pad that's wearing incorrectly, it may also be your slide pins. Did you say you disassembled the caliper and greased them?

I greased the slide pins. And the springs for the pad is correct.
DRM emailed me and said if the caliper ever gets hot, it fatigues and eventually is junk, and spreads.
Well, I remember a couple years ago, I had a shop do something to the car, and when I left the shop I smelt brake pads. I was on a flat road barely a couple miles away. Well, they applied the ebrake, and the indicator light was not on. Long story short, pad was on fire. When I realized it, all I could do is release the brake and drive till the fire went out and cooled off. That may have been my overheating situation. What do you think?
