i had the same wear characteristics going on brakes front and back guide pins had grooves in them 4 years old 75 k miles
and not a microscopic spot of fresh grease on full floating pins,grease was the size of a pin dot and dried out hard from factory ,
brake pad ears dry also,
wirebrushed caliper retainer and buffed all slide surfaces , buffed everything till clean and smooth, no brake dust like new till shiny with large wire wheel ,
regreased with new kits caliper should float and not deflect as per original oem setup,

brake pad ears were only worn in one place not moving at all ,groove knocked caliper alignment out, pads had embedded metal from rotor too

replaced with upgraded ECS Bronze bushing kits with stainless steel pins will see how they wear in
