Rear sierra pads wearing unevenly??

I have some sierra rear calipers fitted and i am getting uneven pad wear and the pads look like they are wearing the top edge on one and the bottom on the other.
I have remounted the carrier exactly square with the disc so it isnt that, my carrier pins appear to be a bit slack and wobbly in hte carrier but can you replace or recondition these?

Anyone else had this

I need to sort it as i dont want to fit ferodo race pads at £60 a go until its sorted.
The calipers were recondition from my motor factors 12 month ago.

Cheers Mark

It does have a cutout which locates on a extra peice in the caliper backplate, i checked this and i have the same problem on both sides.
Will phone bigredd tomorrow.
i may get the caliper body machined square to the piston as it is slightly tapered aswell to the piston.

The sliders do seem a bit floppy anyway
