I have the same carrier. Mine fits perfectly. The machining and craftmanship are excellent. I am not exactly what you are describing, but uneven pad wear is usually caused be a siezed up caliper. If the caliper is not floating like it should, you will get uneven pad wear. I doubt that the carrier is the culprit. However, if it is indeed, don't shun me for it. Later.

I have the exact same carrier for my Banshee and haven't had any problems with it. Mine as been on my Banshee for about 2 years now. It it is a far cry better unt than the factory unit. It sounds like the guy is working with you on your problem, so hang in there and see if he can help you resolve your problems.
