Charles,

I had the same problem when I reworked my 95 rear brakes.  Turned out the slider pins on one side were not as free moving as the other.  This was after replacing the sliders only on the right and the left hand side bracket.  The bracket came preloaded with new slider pins - and they didn't slide like they should.  I replaced the sliders on the left and no more rubbing...

Someone else mentioned loosening and retightening the wheels - maybe the rotor is not flat on the mount because of rust.

Good luck,
