Rotors, calipers, and hoses on the rear were replaced about 30,000 miles ago, however that was seven years ago.

I got fed up with the thing and went to the gym. Between sets I think I figured out what the problem is. During the bearing replacement, I used the rotor as a slide hammer figuring that if I damage it in the process it should be readily apparent, and new ones are $22 at NAPA. I think what happened is I bowed out the rotor enough that it is now pushing the inside piston to max compression with a little force left on it. I'll replace the rotor and see if that fixes the problem.
