Could be something simple like copperslip plus brake dust and heat = solid mass or something a bit more subtle like a brake line pulling the caliper in one direction or another. It doesn't take much external pressure to twist on the caliper to cause the pins to bind and stop it floating. Maybe worth another look at the installation if it still uses the stock park brake cables they could be causing the issue especially during articulation

Hmmm... will have a good stare at it all when it's back together, thanks Ollie!

Hopefully the shims should stop it Wombat, but I'll keep an eye on the pads and swap them / report back over time...

I should add if they do bind on the pins it can take manually squaring them up again to get them to unbind.

The thing is, in our little Jimny group, about 3-4 of us have the same set-up and we're all experiencing the same problem. To that end, JiumnyBits is on the case, and we're working on a solution - watch this space.

Jalapeño, IISY?
