1. when you changed your pad, was it hard to compress the calipper? that is one question. did you check your calipper slidders if the have grease in the boot? if not your slides are stuck ans won't adjust. if ther is no grease in it put some and work it so it will move. check for wear it might be off centered.

2. your calipper cylinder might be off centered as well. thus makes in even wear. or gets stuck in one position.
