I just had the same problem after doing a brake job myself. Occured only on the passenger side after a couple of thousand miles. Turns out I instaled the spring incorrectly and it caused the caliper to torque and rub the wheel. I had to scrape a ridge off the pad since the pad wore in wrong(should have replaced but am too cheap) It works fine now. Will need to see a diagram to get the brake spring on right. I took off the passenger side wheel and saw my mistake. Also make sure you lube the 7mm caliper bolts to allow them to slide(float) without binding. Good Luck
