Lee, I have seen this once and the cause appeared to be wear on the caliper frame at the point where the tops of the pads bear against it. This is a tad hard to describe in words but if you look you will see what I mean and with the caliper assembly dismantled you will easily see the wear. I did not get to repair the car in question, but would have done so by replacement of the part with one showing little wear, OR by taking the worn part to my favorite welder and having it built up with a hard-face alloy, then filing/grinding it back to the original contour. If you go that route find a good professional, not the guy down the block who happens to have a buzz-box. And please don't drive any more until it's fixed, sounds like asking for trouble. And when you reassemble, lube all metal-to-metal contact points with a specialty brake lubricant.
