Just installed the caliper stiffeners (bushings) in my rear calipers. After a recent rain and subsequent surface rust on the rotor, I can see that the rear pads are not in full contact with the rotor. I can see that there is approx. 1/4 inch of swept area, toward the hub that is now not in use. I would guess that this is due to uneven pad wear due to the deflection of the caliper/with the rubber bushings. (didn't look at the backside of the rotor)
Question, besides replacing the pads (only a few months old) is there anything that I can do. Or, just let it fix itself over time?

Remove the pads and have them resurfaced paralllel to the backings, and give up brake pad life equal to the amount which would need to be removed to get the surface parallel. Or let them wear in to their new wear pattern. Depending on the pad, I'd expect that to wear in pretty quickly.
