Maybe one of the calipers is sticking? After a drive check if one corner is really hot.

Mr too changed the OSR caliper as after a few miles I was getting high pitched whistle on braking and a lot of brake dust/heat (even the alloy). Now the other side has gone with same symptoms which is getting changed today.
