I'd pop the front wheels off & see how tight a fit the backing plates of the front pads are in the carriers. I've had the same issues, pulling, wheel hot to the touch from dragging pads. I ground a small amount off the ears of the backing plates and the problem hasn't been back. There is no spring return to unload the pads so if tight they can bind. Start small don't go silly.
